My Win 10 installation boots fine and fast, but once I've entered my password it sits there for another 10 seconds - longer than the boot - before the desktop arrives, which is really annoying.
Is that the way it is, or is there anything I could try to change it?
Try using no password and see if there's any difference in speed.
Also try the following.: –
In Task Manager shut down all startup programs.
In msconfig under the Services tag check the " Hide all Microsoft services" box and then uncheck the remaining services (making a note of the services unchecked)
Reboot.
It's a reboot process is fast, selectively add back groups of services to you identify the offending services. Similarly add back startup programs selectively till you have identified the potentially offending program startup.
Best of luck
