~ 30 seconds after Win10 boot ...

[BTRY B 529th FA BN]

There is a weird stall, lag, hang, about 30 seconds after windows 10 boots where nothing responds for about 10 seconds. Ctrl + Alt + Del = nothing. No mouse. Absolutely nothing responds.

Any idea what it could be and how to fix it, aside from a reinstall?

I've ran sfc /scannow and no errors come up. The system is stable afaik. :hmm: :\

Before reinstall try refresh...who knows?

Sounds like a driver or service is hanging.

Is there anything in the Windows system or application logs that corresponds with the startup (i.e. a warning or error)?

What does event viewer say?

Logs and the Event View? I've briefly looked through those and found my time wasted many times more than the problem.

Is your hard drive/SSD running hard? Was it this way since you installed/upgraded? I notices when I did an upgrade for my mother that it did spend a lot of time running the drive, updating the new apps such as Music and Pictures. A lot of other people reported that Windows 10 does get faster over time, which makes sense in this scenario.

One other thing I can think of is Windows updating your drivers. If this started after a Windows Update run, I could see your issue related to this.

If you have internet activity lights, take a look at those during the lag.
