RC slow boot, BootSmssInitTime takes 160s
I have a brand new HP HDX18 laptop. After install Windows 7 and a set of softwares. I see booting takes 3 mins. From Event Viewer, I see BootSmssInitTime takes more than 160s. I tried all solutions, google SmssInit. Nothing fixes the issue.
I have no external drive. disable UAC (drop to lowest level), boot in safe mode ( also takes 3 mins to show log on UI ). Running out of ideas.
Any help is appreciated.
