Long Boot Win XP

Question

Windows

We have the following problem: after the logo with a running line, we see a black screen that “hangs” for 5-10 minutes, after which the welcome screen appears, and everything works. Bootvis does not show anything on the trace o_O, except for cpu utilization and disk activity, not a single running process is visible. Kaspersky did not find any viruses, manually checked everything, there was nothing suspicious. I would be grateful for an idea in which direction to dig ...

Answer 1

Maybe not in the topic, smart screw is normal?

Answer 2

What about over the network? If, say, the DHCP server responds for a long time, it can also manifest itself this way.

Answer 3

Reset the bios to default, cut off all devices from the bios, except for the hard one (i.e. audio, network, usb) and see what happens

Answer 4

1. Autoruns to the studio. If I may.
2. Pay attention to services and drivers. Especially the drivers.
3. Maybe not very important, but even a banal disk defragmentation can help

Answer 5

Look with the help of the Autoruns program what you have loaded into the system - usually everything left is visible there.

Answer 6

The trouble is that I really would not want to do a reinstall.

Answer 7

At one time I also had a problem with a long boot, though at 7. As it turned out, Windows is trying to connect to a network drive that is not available, and because of this, a very long boot.

Answer 8

To the above, it is possible that the CD / DVD was forgotten in the drive, something may hang on usb, at the same time look at the temperature of the CPU and others like it.

Answer 9

Have you ruled out hardware problems? linux Live[CD | USB] have you tried?

Answer 10

Did you install windows updates? Did you delete the extra software that you haven’t used for a long time ?, disk defragmentation, cleaning the disk of temporary files with the same CCleaner for a long time? Were you checked by the same cureit?
Usually after such Windows becomes better. Although sometimes it is easier to rearrange to the same seven - it is better and faster.
yes, by the way, the less you run any tweakers, the better Windows lives - it has been tested for the last 12 years.

Answer 11

Can I have iron specs?

Answer 12

I didn’t write right away, the problem appeared spontaneously after an ordinary startup, no software was installed, updates were not applied, restore points for a day, a week and even a month did not help ...

Answer 13

I myself once encountered a similar problem - the replacement of the screw helped, on which there was a system and a swap partition. SMART did not show anything dangerous, there were no bads either, but it seems that in some places there were dips in read-write speed. Vistula capital - even the keyboard and mouse hung. In order not to reinstall anything, they used to boot from the Acronis Migrate Easy CD and they stupidly transferred the partitions from the old screw to the new one. It remains only to disable the old screw and configure the boot from the new one.

Answer 14

I had this when I "optimized" the system by disabling "unnecessary" services.
try resetting the service startup settings to default

Answer 15

It happened once because of the extremely long start of the service "Windows Image Loading Service (WIA) - needed for image scanners to work." I didn’t figure it out - I turned it off before reinstalling the system - everything began to load normally.
The second time - a failure or the remains of the talking Avast antivirus (its official remover helped).
