Unresponsive Desktop when booting up (please help)
As the title suggests, this problem started occurring just yesterday when I booted up my PC for the first time for the day. I noticed that it was taking a very long time to boot up, which is very abnormal for my PC (will list specs down below). Then, after some odd minutes went by, it finally booted into my desktop...to only get an unresponsive desktop. Here's a picture I took with my phone:Notice how nothing has loaded up on my desktop, none of my start up programs like my anti virus, nothing. I can't even move my mouse cursor out of the task bar into the middle of my screen. So, I did what any other common sense individual would do and I restarted my PC. Voila, it booted up nice, fast, and instantaneously as expected from an SSD. Everything was working fine for the rest of the day, until I decided to shut down my PC for the night before going to bed. It took, no lie, about 1-2 minutes to shut down (more like a minute) when my PC typically shuts down instantly. My monitors went black like they usually do when shutting a PC down, but the PC itself was still running for a long time. Then after waiting for a little bit, it finally shut down. So, I went to bed, got up this morning, booted it up for the day, and lo' and behold. It did it again. It took forever to boot up, and gave me the unresponsive desktop once again. I restarted it like I did yesterday, and now it's working fine...again. If anyone is out there that is familiar with an issue like this, I would be extremely grateful if you could help me resolve this problem. It may not seem like anything serious now, but I don't want it to develop into something even bigger down the line if I just let it keep doing what it's doing.
