Long delay after windows start screen

Hello friends,

I must edit my problem description, which might be ambiguous: Most of the replies concern delays after windows ist started.
But in my case the delay between windows start and login screen is quite normal. The unusual delay comes after the login screen appears.

Here my text before editing:
I have a problem recently. My computer starts quite normal (~25sec) until the logon screen appears. Then I enter my password. After entering the password the screen remains unchanged for another 33 seconds, until the desktop appears.
The same happens, when I restart the computer after standby, and also if I remove my password. Then the windows start screen stays unchanged for the same time.
The event protocol shows no errors or warnings whatsoever.
Does anybody know, what the reason might be?

Hi:

It sounds as if you have too many programs running at startup and/or possible clashes/conflicts among those programs, especially security applications. For example, running multiple real-time anti-virus programs or overlapping security applications can slow system start-up.

Another thought: have you cleaned out temp files using the native Windows disk cleanup utility and/or a 3rd-party program, such as CCleaner?

EDIT: If you could please fill out your system specs, that would help us to better help you:

There is definitely a 30 sec delay in the boot settings, but, Zero (0) is not an acceptable setting.
Reduce the 30 sec delay to just 3 sec's and everything will work OK.

To decrease boot times and generally speed up your PC, do the following.

Shorten the Boot Time in XP, Vista & Windows 7 & 8, 8.1 & Windows 10

Go to the start button, choose run, then type msconfig and press Ok.
On the system configuration window, choose the "Boot.INI" tab.

Check “No Gui Boot”, then lower the timeout to a more manageable time.
I choose 3 seconds in stead of 30. (windows won’t accept a lower number than 3)

Next choose advanced options.
This is where you can choose how many processors you have.
Most modern PC's are duo core (2 processors) with some quad core (4 processors, and there are even some with 8 Cores or more, )
then choose OK. The Windows default is only 1 core.

Now choose apply and OK, reboot and you should see a marked decrease in boot time, and an Increase in Run-Time efficiency.

On every one of the thousands of PC's I've worked on over the past 36 years, there will be several to a dozen or more things starting up on boot that don't even need to be running on the PC, or can be run when needed from a desktop icon. So I always go into the "Startup" folder and eliminate everything that does not absolutely Need to be run from Startup. After you've RUN MSCONFIG in the above blue lines, then go into the Startup tab and UN-Check everything that does NOT need to run at bootup.

I've gotten boot times of several minutes down to just a few seconds, using these techniques.

For the ultimate 'Tune-Up' I also shut down all the redundant "Services". I found out how to do that on the "Black Viper's" website. *



* The number of Services that run in the background have skyrocketed since they first showed up in XP. In XP, I was able to shut down 21 Services, and in Windows 7 and above I can shut down 40 services. That takes a huge load off of the CPU and RAM.
