8 minutes after login until a usable desktop

My daughter has a Dell Inspiron P20T, a simple little 11" ultrabook.
After logging in, it takes around 8 minutes before she can actually use the computer.
I checked the task manager/performance and the CPU and disk were at 100%.
I went deeper into the resources monitor, and found these programs were using the most of either CPU or disk for the 8 minutes:

perfmon.exe
compattelrunner.exe
UNPCampaignmanager
MPSigStub
backgroundtakshost.exe
svhost.exe
wsappx
netsvcs
msmpeng

Are these essential? Is there a way to speed up her post-login boot time?

Hi there, 3DPiper. Yes, those are system essentials.

Please press Windows key + X keys simultaneously and choose Task Manager > Choose Startup tab. Take a screenshot (Windows key/Print screen key) and post here or list the programs here. In Task Manager you may have to click "Show more" at the bottom left.

Edit:

What antivirus are you running?

I am only using Windows Defender as the antivirus.
Here is a screenshot of her Startup:

I think I will check for updates to make sure she has the latest version

Thanks for those. Yes, check for updates by all means. Check to make sure that is on auto download and install as well.

Although some are necessary, you have some “High impact” items starting up. You may consider either disabling startup items then use or create a shortcut or tile to start the program after boot or uninstall the program depending upon use and great consideration. Disabling startup items by right-click highlighting, then click disable in the lower right corner.

With any of these programs we can guide you to create a shortcut for the Start screen, Taskbar, or Desktop to start up afterwards. I highly recommend this for the Steam Client Bootstrapper, which is a gaming site.

To uninstall a program (after great consideration), uninstall by opening Settings (WinKey/I) > Apps > Find or search for the program in the list > Right click > Choose uninstall.

To help understand what’s running:
perfmon.exe– Is the Windows Performance Monitor.
compattelrunner.exe – Sighted below.
UNPCampaignmanager - Universal Notification Platform or UNP usually applies to computers on a domain.
MPSigStub - MS installer application used in conjunction with Windows Automatic Updates.
backgroundtakshost.exe – Windows system process that runs silently in the background.
svhost.exe – Windows system process that hosts multiple Windows services.
Wsappx - Provides infrastructure support for the Microsoft Store.
Netsvcs - Loads several other critical services for proper Windows operation.
msmpeng - Antimalware detection engine of Windows Defender.

In the article listed below, compattelrunner.exe is a program that came via update KB2977759 in prior OSs and the .exe is listed in the MS article below. It is related to the Customer Experience Improvement Program in preparation for upgrading a machine. This is also installed on prior Windows OS, although may not be a remnant on yours. This may be assuming that your machine has been upgraded to Windows 10 from Windows 7. Also, the .exe program is a part of Windows 10 to prepare a machine for further updates or upgrades. I searched for and have it listed in my System32 folder, although I do not have the KB update.

Please try searching for this update in Settings > Update & Security > Update history. If it is there, we may consider other options. It may be essential for further updates or upgrades since 10 is an ongoing OS.

In the meantime if the problem persists, you may want to perform the solution in the post by Kristoffer Abs at CompatTelRunner.exe in Windows 10 - Microsoft Community. However, this needs to be turned on prior to the next Windows 10 upgrade.

This update performs diagnostics on the Windows systems that participate in the Windows Customer Experience Improvement Program. These diagnostics help determine whether compatibility issues may be encountered when the latest Windows operating system is installed. This update will help Microsoft and its partners ensure compatibility for customers who want to install the latest Windows operating system.
