Database recovery event takes 16sec during boot up

After I turned off my computer just like that without shutting down, the boot up got very slow.

I checked the event log and found a certain event that takes 16 seconds before it continues, causing the "Starting Windows" screen to stall quite a while before the colorfull balls appear. I have no idea what that does. Any ideas?

The error says:
Windows (3996) Windows: The database engine is initiating recovery steps.

EventIS: 300

We might be able to help more if you filled in your system specs (lower left corner) so that we know what kind of hardware you have.

thanks

ok, done :)

if it helps... I have this Event in every startup, but before, it didnt even take a second...

i retook the time for startup, it actually stalls nearly 90 seconds minutes at the black "Starting windows" screen...

I am not sure anymore if it is this 300 event, there are actually many events taking a lot of time.

If anyone has an idea where to look, i will....

90 seconds of course...
