Wierd browsing boot up problem after new build
Hi Good Peoples,
I have just reinstalled all my software onto a new SSD. All is well except for one problem.
I have set Outlook and Firefox to load at boot up time. Once the computer has booted, (less than 50 seconds) Outlook immediately opens as per normal. However, it takes almost 3 minutes for Firefox to load. If I try and load IE manually, it takes the same time and opens when Firefox opens. So this problem effects both browsers. However, Outlook email downloads normally.
I have watched the task manager processes, and the processor is about 99% idle during the wait time. Firefox shows as being at 5064K for the three minutes wait, and then changes to about 83800K once the program launches.
Here are the steps I have been through to try and work out what is the cause of the problem.
1. Disabled all extensions and add-ons in Firefox and rebooted. Did not fix (Dnf.)
2. Tried above but took Firefox out of Startup Menu and then manually tried to open it once system had rebooted. (Dnf)
3. Used MS Config to turn off all non Microsoft Services and all Start Up items. (Dnf)
4. Re-enabled back to normal configuration, and restarted in Safe Mode with Networking, and Firefox loaded as soon as the shortcut was pressed.
5. Started in normal mode and problem is back again.
Once either browser has loaded once, if it is closed, it reopens in the normal time.
As its happening with both browsers, it seems like it a windows issue and not a specific browser issue.
Any suggestions please?
