If you have Kaspersky, pause it the next time you restart. Having it on always causes my login after restart to take several minutes unless I unplug the Internet. I presume that it is doing something during login that slows things.
I just updated my desktop PC to Windows 10 Pro and that too now has occasional slow logins with no obvious errors reported. Bothe Pcs do have Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2016.
Steve, Did you try pausing Kaspersky to see if that had an effect on reboot logins? I couple of days ago I tried removing Kaspersky and my login was 5-6 seconds. After I reinstalled it the time went up to minutes. I am thinking of switching to AVG or something else to see if that helps. Web
This only happens once or twice a week. Booting to the login screen is fast but there is sometimes a 30s delay before the desktop then appears instead of about 5s.
Right. The screensave image appears fast, but when you enter your login/password it waits a long time before you see the main screen and icons.
I have found that without Kaspersky enabled it can take up to 10-20 seconds to login. With kaspersky enabled it can take minutes. I assume that whatever windows is doing to login, kaspersky is triple checking and making it take much longer.
I have also noticed that if I unplug the ethernet before I login it only takes a few tens of seconds with kaspersky, so I assume that there is some internet traffic going in during login that is the root cause of the problem, but I don't know of a way to get a log of what that traffic is or why.
