So, if I understand then with ALL NON-MS STARTUP PROGRAMS and SERVICES disabled it still boots up slow except in SAFE mode....?
Hmmm....
I would save my personal data to an external backup (or a system image to an external backup). Remove all secondary peripherals (video card, sound card, usb expansion cards, printers, etc, etc.)
If that does not help. I would do a new clean install of Windows with a BARE system (minimum - no secondary peripherals). Check, if it boots "fast" and clean, then start adding the secondary peripherals back one at a time...... JMO
