Really Slow shutdown and startup
My wife's laptop "recently" started taking much longer then usual to shutdown. Normally it would be 20-30 seconds for a full reboot. Now it takes a couple of minutes to shut down, and a couple of minutes to boot. I have tried updating drivers, disabling services and startup items, disabling drivers, setting "verbose" mode to see more detail about what stage the hang is taking place, and many other suggestions. None of which has yielded any information whatsoever.
I came across this tutorial:
Gathering a Startup, Shutdown, Sleep, Hibernate, or Reboot Trace
I was hoping that someone could assist by reviewing the log that was created by the Windows Performance Toolkit.
Any takers? Let me know, any I can post a link. Fair warning, it's 133 Mb zipped ( 962 Mb unzipped). This is for the "boot" trace. I was getting errors creating the others, so I figured that would at least be a place to start,
Thanks in advance. This is driving me insane....
