Win7 X64 : Pause on Welcome Screen

HEADRAT · 15 Apr 2011 at 19:24

Hi,

Anybody else had this issue, PC boots fast and gets to the Welcome Screen in no time flat (Vertex 3 SSD) but once I put in my password it hangs on the Welcome Screen for what seems like an eternity!!

Have you fiddled around with the themes services recently?

HEADRAT · 15 Apr 2011 at 19:39

Yeah played with a couple of desktop backgrounds

Could be linked to that to be honest

Restart your computer in Safe Mode:
Click Start
Type: CMD, from the results, right click CMD
Click 'Run as Administrator'
At the Command Prompt, type: sfc/scannow

This will check for any integrity violations

Restart your system

Also check your hard disk for errors:
Click Start
Type: CMD, from the results, right click CMD
Click 'Run as Administrator'
At the Command Prompt, type: chkdsk /r
When you restart your system, your computer will be scanned for errors and attempts will be made to correct them.

Also, if that does not work:
1. Insert the Windows 7 DVD
2. Restart your computer
3. When asked if you want to boot from your DVD drive, do so.
4. Choose your language, click Next.
5. Click 'Repair your computer'
6. Select operating system you want repair.

Mine has been like that since I installed SP1.

Don't use flat colour/no wallpaper. This will make your login hang for 20 odd seconds.

Old bug that was never fixed.

I don't use flat colour/no wall paper.

Then your problem lies elsewhere.

Nobody else had this issue?

You checked what's running at logon?

start > run > msconfig / OR

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
