Several Processes Delaying Logon
I have a problem with slow startup; specifically, logon.
Boots quick, sits at Welcome screen for about 30 seconds (on an SSD), everything after that is also quick.
Event Viewer shows:
1.4s delay
This application took longer than usual to start up, resulting in a performance degradation in the system startup process:
File Name : MsMpEng.exe
Friendly Name : Antimalware Service Executable
Version : 4.6.0305.0
Total Time : 1480ms
Degradation Time : 618ms
Incident Time (UTC) : 2015-04-21T14:07:30.562400100Z
0.5s delay
Application of machine policy caused a slow down in the system start up process:
Name : MachinePolicyApplication
Total Time : 575ms
Degradation Time : 364ms
Incident Time (UTC) : 2015-04-18T09:37:42.562400100Z
11.7s delay
Application of user policy caused a slow down in the system start up process:
Name : PreShellInit
Total Time : 11739ms
Degradation Time : 11219ms
Incident Time (UTC) : 2015-04-16T22:42:38.578000200Z
Please keep in mind, all Group Policies have been reset (Local Group Policy - Reset to Default).
All unnecessary startup items have been disabled from Msconfig and Autoruns.
However, none of this explained the 30~40 second delay. So I installed Performance Toolkit and ran a boot trace. As you can see there is a whopping huge block of ABSOLUTELY NOTHING going on for almost 30 seconds during logon.
In summary:
2s delay before WinHttpAutoProxySvc starts
24s delay before PcaSvc starts
5s delay before Appinfo, AeLookupSvc & WSearch starts
Can someone tell me why are these things sitting around twiddling their thumbs, generally being stupid, delaying my startup and how to make them stop doing that please? Thank you.
