My computer used to take about 2 seconds consistently in the light blue
"welcome" screen for the past 2 years or so.

Sometimes, it used to take about 6 seconds. And this mainly occured when my
internet was down. So I knew that when the "welcome" screen took longer my
internet was most likely down.

Recently, after a few windows automatic updates, a service pack 3 install or
I am not sure if when my DVD burner stalled the "welcome" screen is taking
longer than usual, about 6 seconds. However, my internet is working fine.

From your experience, what is the typical time it takes for the "welcome"
screen to go through?

Does taking longer at the "welcome" screen an indication that there is a
conflict OR is it just loading information?



Thanks for your feedback

Theres is not realy a typical time, there are too many variables.

If you want to examine in more detail try safe mode boot log, then examine
the boot log

Currently, the Welcome screen sometimes it takes 2 seconds and other times it
takes 6 seconds. Shouldn't it be consistent?
