Slow Bootup, but no errors… What happened?
I have Windows 7 64 bit Pro. My computer has been very stable and free of errors. On Dec 14 I did all the windows updates and also installed Microsoft Silverlight. Everything was successful and the computer continued to work fine. Two days later I powered up the computer and it took 5 minutes to boot!! This has never happened before and normal bootups take less than a minute. During the 5 minute bootup the hard drive was active the whole time! After bootup, the computer was sluggish for a few minutes and then settled out. I examined the event viewer and found no errors or warnings! The usual informational events were all the same as during healthy bootups except for longer time delays between events. I shut the computer down which took 45 seconds instead of the usual 15 seconds. Everything has been completely normal since then. I use Microsoft Security Essentials and did a scans before and after this incident and found nothing. Does anyone have any idea what may have caused this? Is there anything I should do or just ignore it since its working fine now?
Thanks.
