    Fast to start, slow to login


    I have a user account that takes a rather long time to log into. There is a large amount of data on the desktop.

    Is that affecting it?

    The system is windows 7 64-bit, all the startup options have been disabled and this is still happening. The only thing currently running that is not a Microsoft service is Avast!

    Is it happening only to one specific account? Other accounts boots / log normally?
    When logged to the user, open regedit and go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
    What programs load to that user?

    Lots of data on desktop will do it or reconnection to slow network drives or resources

Slow start-up BEFORE login screen
in Performance & Maintenance

It used to (few days ago) take less than 10 seconds to get to the login screen once the BIOS was finished, now it's taking more like 25 seconds. Since this is pre-login, I assume it has nothing to do with startup programs (note that startup is lightning fast once I login) and is more likely a...
