Hello !
I have a PC with windows 7.
Is a new clean installation made 2 days ago.
Today I have noticed that windows takes a very long time on the screen " Please Wait" . Sometimes the same things happen to "Welcome" screen.
I clear the startup list.
I clear also all the startup item from windows registry.
I check the HDD and RAM but everything is ok.
I have installed all the windows updates and all the drivers updates.
I try some suggestions that I've found on internet like disabling the Network Locations awareness ...etc.

But nothing is working. Of course on safe mode , everything works fine.

I check the performance details about Event ID 100 , and these are the results :

What should I do ?
Thank you !

And why I'm not being held by my disk when running on safe mode ?
And why everything works ok after the Please wait and Welcome screen ?

Safe mode loads very few modules - only the essentials. Once you are running, the demand on disk access is only minor and you also benefit from Superfetch.

I'm using 3d studio max 2015 in this PC. do you think that demand on disk access from this program is lower that windows loading ?
Well this program is working very well.

Strange that you don't know it .Ok , this is a 3D graphical software from autodesk , and has a very large disk access demands.

another example.
Move data from a partition to another . I think do you know that this is all related with disk drive.
This process for very large files is done on a normal time like in other pc. not delay at all.

This is yours: MainPathBootTime>91799
This is mine: MainPathBootTime 9904

This is yours:
"BootPrefetchInitTime">34898</Data> = 34 seconds
"BootPrefetchBytes">248291328</Data> = 2.48GB

This is mine:
BootPrefetchInitTime 0
BootPrefetchBytes 0

What is the difference ? I have a SSD and you have a slow disk.

You can make an experiment and set the prefetch time to 0 (zero). But I am not sure whether that helps. Here is how:

Open regedit and browse to this entry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory
Management\PrefetchParameters


and to the right side double click,

Enable Prefetcher

set the value to 0

I've already tried this option , but I didn't noticed any difference.
And I don't understand what problem may have my Hard Drive ?
I checked will all tools needed , and no problem at all.

You don't have a 'problem' with your disk. It is just slow.. Move the OS to a SSD and it will boot in less than 20 seconds.

Had the same issue. Went to Services.msc, and changed setting of Network Store Interface Service - switched to delayed start. Problem gone. Clearly there's something in the startup and network process hanging, but this side stepped it.
