Win 7 with SSD slow boot up after uninstalling programs.
I have a Win 7 64 Home Premium AMD 8120 with 16GB or mem, SSD Samsung 850 500GB as OS drive a couple of WD for 2,3,and 4th drive. I was doing some uninstalling of programs I didnt use. It was going well til IIRC I uninstalled Virtual Clone drive. Then upon reboot it took appox 3 mins to boot. When in the past took maybe 30-45 seconds. So from cold start it goes through POST and get to loading OS fine. Then Get to Windows pulsing logo, and it stays there for majority of the time. I see drive activity upon boot to logo then a good gap, then as 2 mins pass I see more activity and 2:30 seconds it goes to the logon screen and it goes to desktop right away. I did reinstall virtual clone drive seeing it was the last program I uninstalled and the problem stayed. I tried restoring of course it say there is a error in restore. Ironically when I use the computer seems to working fine. Just that annoyance of when I have to reboot it takes 3 mins or so. I rather not have to do a fresh install of Win. I added some captures of a couple of errors in event viewer and health of samsung using their utility and a freeware utility.
Any help is appreciated.
