Explorer.exe not starting at boot after recent installation
I recently got my first SSD (woo!) so I had to unfortunately go through the Windows reinstallation process. All was good, SSD gave me awesome boot times as well, until a few restarts later. Now whenever I start my PC the boot takes a bit more time at the login process, and then once logged in the screen is black with only the cursor and I have to run explorer.exe manually...
I checked the "userinit" registry key (don't remember the exact path, posting on mobile) and it contained only "explorer.exe" as it should. I've tried SFC /scannow and dism /restorehealth but the problem persists..
