5 min delay on cold start between login screen and bg screen
I'm not sure when this issue was introduced into the bowels of my PC because I normally put it in sleep mode when not in use. Prior to the first time I noticed it the PC would breeze through the startup process with no discernible delays.
Now, when I cold start it, just as the login screen closes, instead of going straight to the background screen, a black screen appears and the drive light flashes for about 4-5 minutes after which the background screen appears and all is normal. The PC will do this any time it is restarted.
My question is, is there a way to "easily" identify the service, process, or app that is causing the delay?
My troubleshooting skills are being diminished for these types of problems due to my neurons now approaching
80 years of age and any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
