Sloooowww Win 7 boot time, Event viewer info attached
My Win 7 SP1/64 Dell desktop system takes up to 4 or even 5 minutes to boot up. Doing a "clean boot" it still takes almost 3 minutes.
This has been going on a while, so I reinstalled Windows 7 SP1 and installed all the updates. It only seemed to make it worse.
I use Security Essentials, and it claims there are no viruses/malware. I've run MalwareBytes and it too says the system is clean.
Doing some research, I learned about the Event Viewer, so I ran it and got nothing but warnings of degradation and critical errors. In the non-clean boot, PreShellInit seems to be the worst culprit. In the clean boot, it is one of several degrading processes.
Below are the Event Viewer errors for the clean boot. Any help and suggestions on how to fix this are much appreciated.
Thanks,
EdB
