Takes a long time to load at welcome page

[TOFU]

Recently, whenever i turn on my computer. It will take quite a while to load the welcoming page (The green page).
Usually it took around 1-2 seconds. I've tried updating windows and anti virus scan but the problem still persist.

Anyone have any idea what went wrong?
Thanks!

Im using home premium 64-bit

It use to take 1-2 SECOND?????

I don't think so unless your system was hibernated or in whatever sleep mode is.

Could be it is not going into sleep or hibernate (whatever those 2 things are) anymore and really shutting down. So when you go to start it up it has to do the motherboard POST (Power On Self Test) and then load Windows.
Which will take much longer then coming out of hibernate or sleep.

Yeap, it usually only took 1-2 seconds loading time.
Actually, if i were to boot up the com from sleep mode, it's faster.

run msconfig, and on startup tab, disable all and reboot. See if that helps. Do you have an SSD drive?

Sadly, it doesnt make a difference ):

Have you mapped any network drives?

Have you mapped any network drives?

+1 on that question. That's usually where my machines will hang if the storage server that my mapped drives go to is unavailable/offline/mia/ohnoez.

Uh, i dont know how to map a network drive so i doubt that will be the reason ):

related to that is network printers, whether its a network printer or a printer on another machine.

I agree with pbcopter it will stall at the 'O Welcome' screen if its trying to locate unavailible network resources. Easy way to test is if its a laptop then turn your wireless off and boot again to see if its faster. Of if you have a wired network try unplugging your network cable. Basically this should make it fail to find the stuff its looking for sooner. Im not 100% sure on the wired test but i use this all the time at work with our laptops as they take an age to boot if not within wireless range.

Hope it helps.

Oh as for a solution... find what its trying to reach on your network and switch it on again!
