In Soluto, you can delay start any process. You should try to do that with some of the system processes of which you know that they are not immediately needed. And if it does not work, you can always change it back. Will take some experimenting.
Just a random thought, but what about a registry clean and defrag? I'm pretty sure you'll be able to do those functions through the trial of TuneUp Utilities... I've been running TuneUp Utilities for ages on my PC, never had any problems with it (unlike some other registry cleaners I've tried).
Other than that, I'd suggest you look through the start-up entries on your computer with SysInternals' Autoruns, that will show all start-up entries from all locations.
I know it seems almost too simple, but often long start-up times are caused by an autorun entry trying to launch an application that no longer exists. God knows I've had that problem all too many times (I install and uninstall a lot of little utilities just to test)...
After an hour of Autoruns Wack-a-mole, I thought I nailed the perpetrator to Java, so I obviously uninstalled it to see if this resolved the problem. However when I restarted after removing Java the problem persisted! I removed everything from Autoruns, slowly adding each back, it was working fine up until to point I re-added Java at which point I noticed a significant slowdown, so of course I unticked it. But the problem is still lasting even after an uninstall! I don't understand how enabling Java then uninstalling it later can cause a problem. I've actually figured out through stop-watch that the problem actually prolongs the display of the "Starting Windows" splash and also the display of the loading and desktop, adding a whole minute to boot.
I'm rather at the end of my tether at the moment and I would just reinstall Windows how much this is annoying me, but I would appreciate any further suggestions.
The problem is I don't think it's Java, I've totally uninstalled it and the problem is still persisting. It is no longer showing in Autoruns either, but it seems as soon as I enabled it, but the long boot stayed so I assume it was a coincidence?
I just started to look this up because Im having the exact same issue on my laptop...ive had it for a while and now Im fed up.
whenever i have this issue I get a pop up on the bottom saying explorer is waiting to burn something.... once things move forward (after a couple mins of explorer not loading) it will load and then the java update box pops up.
I havent delved to far into this , but I have no idea why its trying to burn something.
Seems the burn and possibly java are the culprits. Just wanted to chime in and let the OP know hes not alone with this issue.
Hopefully we can figure this out.
edit: I checked my burner(by double clicking on the drive in my computer) and and it had a big iso waiting to be burned for some reason. I just deleted it. So Ill see if this helps with the issue. No idea why it was there in the first place.
infection! its probably on whitelist. i turned every rock and it was rundll32.exe , which i never saw running before. deleted both and in system and in wow64, and anything that mentioned it remotely in search, and voila. it may be some other "essential". they hide it in files on whitelists which are never or rarely checked... nor malwarebytes nor spybot found it. no more delay YAY, it was driving me crazy...
before it use apps mentioned above just to make sure + you need unlocker to delete everything + terminate every process possible(not services,nor svchosts)
