Boot pauses on black screen with cursor, possible PlugPlay Start issue
My computer used to boot very quickly (less than 20 seconds to desktop, I'm on an SSD), but at some point recently it started pausing at a black screen with the cursor in the middle for about 40 seconds before getting to the logon screen. I ran Xbootmgr and it shows that PlugPlay start is taking 40029ms, during which time Xperfview shows that there is no disk or CPU activity.
This is the line from the xperf XML from a boot trace that is worrying me:
I've attached the full XML file below.Code:<serviceTransition name="PlugPlay" group="PlugPlay" transition="start" totalTransitionTimeDelta="40048" firstCheckpointTimeDelta="18" processingTimeDelta="40029" container="DcomLaunch svchost (956)" startedAt="5644" firstCheckpointedAt="5663" endedAt="45693"/>
Any help identifying what's actually causing the issue?
