Delay on the 'Starting Windows' screen

The problem I have is this, whenever I start my PC there is a delay on the 'Starting Windows' screen. The screen does not freeze or anything just ten minutes to bring up the Log In screen. It's the only time where that the PC is delayed, it has no effect on the operation of the PC. I uninstalled my anti virus and that does make a difference and I have made sure all drivers are up to date. Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks for your help.

Hi Duncan,.

You did changes to the computer before this problem?

I suggest you to disconnect all external devices and check if it helps.

  • Try to load windows on the new drive, stuck at 'starting windows' screen

    So I'm actually down ranking of windows 8 pro to windows 7 pro two 64. I was finally able to get the comp not recongize just load the USB. My problem is that when it does not start, I'm stuck at 'Starting windows' screen I was wondering, perhaps, that I need to format a patition first? It's a new Lenovo warranty hard drive. (Kind of funny how to send CD's for a laptop that doesn't have a cd player only) I looked in the formatting of a usb key, have had some difficulty in finding a reliable way... Thank you

    Hi davefromsb,

    Windows 8 computers have a bios "UEFI" and so will come with "Secure Boot" as well as "UEFI" only start enabled. Disable secure boot if you do not have and choose start to the "legacy" methods The problem is most likely that the image of Windows 7 which has been engraved on the USB key was burned using an instead of a TPG one MBR partition scheme. I hope this helps.

  • Laptop stuck on "Starting Windows" screen

    So, this afternoon, I tried to start my laptop HPG42-373, and it got stuck on "Starting Windows" screen. I ran tests of memory at startup and primary HD, in which startup failed, and primary HD came out with this: "hard disk 1 (303) Quick '. What can I do to solve this problem, if anything, or just to save what I can from my old files?

    Hello

    303 error code is a disk failure short self-test and would indicate that hard is defective and must be replaced.  This is also consistent with the question of commissioning.

    If your laptop is still under warranty, contact HP and arrange for the disk replaced - you can check the status of your warranty here.

    If you live in the United States, contact HP here.

    If you are in another part of the world, begin here.

    If you are out of warranty and would like a guide to replacing the hard drive yourself, let me know.

    ************************************

    Concerning access to the data on this HARD drive, here are some options you can try.

    1. one possible way to try to recover your files from a disk non-boot is to follow the process described in the link below.  The CD of the Ubuntu operating system you create can launched from the CD alone (IE it doesn't have to be installed on the hard drive) and I've often found to successfully extract data even a hard failure.  When you created the CD, follow the instructions and see if you can save your existing files. 

    http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/use-Ubuntu-Live-CD-to-backup-files-from-your-dead-Windo...

    2 another option would be to remove the drive HARD, place it in an external enclosure - is an example of the link below - connect to another PC and see if you can access your files.

  • Stuck on "starting windows" screen during installation of Windows 7

    Hello

    I used windows 10 in dell inspiron13 7000 series. Now, I want to use windows 7 as for my personal use.

The problem is when I run the startup it stuck at 'starting windows' screen I can't go any further, so I need force shutdown my laptop. I am unable to install windows 7 on my laptop. What can I do, please help me.

    Thank you.

    Hi Praveen,

    Thanks for posting your question on the Microsoft community.

    We need more information about the issue so that we can help you better.

    1. is Windows 10 still installed on your computer or you have wiped the hard drive?
    2. don't you upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 10?

    Thank you for details on the issue.

    If Windows 10 is installed, you can downgrade to Windows 7 within 30 days of the upgrade. If it crosses the 30 day limit, the option in the settings that allows you to return to your previous version of Windows will not be available.

    Please see this link:
    Return to Windows 7 or Windows 8.1
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-10/going-back-to-Windows-7-or-Windows-81

    However, if you want to install Windows 7 from an external installation media, you can re-create the rack installation of Windows 7 from this link:
    https://www.Microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/Windows7

    It is possible that the installation media does not develop properly. Please also make sure that you disconnect all the devices connected to the computer before installing Windows 7.

    Note: You may lose programs installed after upgrading Windows 10. I strongly recommend to back up your personal files and data on an external hard drive.

    I hope this information helps.

    Simply answer the required information and let us know if you need more help.

    Thank you

    XPJ

    Hello

    There are two options available.

    1. you can order a set of replacement recovery disks using the link below - it will reinstall the operating system, all the drivers, and almost all of the original software (the exception being often tests of MS Office).  They will also recreate all of the original scores, including the recovery Partition.

    Order HP recovery disks.

    2 another option, if you came to laptop with Windows 7, you might consider is to create your own installation disc.

    Before you try the following, make sure that you can always read the character product activation key 25 on your label Windows COA (5 blocks of 5 alphanumeric games).

    An example of a COA label can be seen here.

    You can create a Windows 7 installation disc yourself using another PC - just download the good Disk Image ( must be the same version - i.e. Home Premium.) Professional etc. - initially supplied with your laptop ) from the link below and use an app like ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly on a blank DVD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write an ISO on a disc is here.  The source of the Image is Digital River.

    Windows 7 sp1-iso-official-32-bit-and-64-bit

    Use the disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key of Windows on the label of the COA at the request and once the installation is complete, use ' 'phone Method' described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system -this made method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want to just have a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load normally comes with OEM installations.

  • Windows xp sp3 delay at the start after login

    I have a windows xp sp3 with 2 GB of RAM and 250 GB HDD to 45-50minutes to load after I entered my user name and password.

    Please, how can I solve this problem. I checked the hard drive for errors, and the system will load faster on e-safe. Mode
    Concerning
    DOE

    To connect to your computer, there are a lot of programs, processes and services launch.  It is likely that one or more of these processes contributes to your delay.  The first criterion would be starting for a minimum system.  This is what we call 'Safe Mode'.  When you start your computer, several times, press the F8 key until a black and white screen comes up, and then select "safe mode" or "safe mode with networking" with the arrow keys and starts.  If your computer starts up fairly quickly, then we the non-critical elements that contribute.

    To debug this, you use a program that will show you all the programs that start at startup and allow you to temporarily cut some of them to determine what (s) is / are the cause of the problem.   Microsoft has a built-in program called "msconfig" or you can download another program called "autoruns" from Microsoft
    Autoruns: <> http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx >

    Instructions for the startup and use of msconfig are contained in this article:
    "How to solve configuration errors by using the System Configuration utility in Windows XP"
       <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310560 >

    When you find what's causing your problem, the action is usually obvious.  Sometimes UN-installing and reinstalling is all you need to do.

  • HP M9000: Black screen after the "Starting Windows" logo and the windows on the screen

    I just gave me a m9040n HP Pavilion Elite with a Q6600 CPU, graphics card ge force and two 500 GB HARD drives in.

    When I starts it up it seems to be ok the HP blue screen will lights up at the start of the BONE and displays "starting Windows" on the screen with the windows logo. and then it goes to black with just the cursor on the screen. (Vista) So I know WHAT BIOS is ok, the graphics are windows allowed from.

    I went to the HP system F11 recovery and he seems to think that all is well... Very confused ideas?

    Thank you, Glenn...

    It looks like one or more of the boot loader files has been corrupted.

    You need access to a PC for this phase of work in order to create the necessary support to fix your PC boot loader.

    You will need to create something called a CD-ROM of repair of Win7. This will repair the boot loader files, and if that is the problem, your PC will start OK after that.  Yes, it's for Win7, but Vista uses the same bootstrapper, so you can use Win7 to repair the Vista bootloader files.

    The file you need can be obtained (with supplement) from this link: http://neosmart.net/blog/2009/windows-7-system-repair-discs/

    When you download this file, it will be an ISO file.

    To make a CD bootable it, you will need to download and install ImgBurn: http://www.imgburn.com/

    Once you have installed, run, select the option "Save image to disk file" and select the downloaded ISO file and that it points to a blank CD.

    To make a USB bootable of it, you will need to download and install RUFUS: https://rufus.akeo.ie/

    Once you have that, it is executed in the input of the unit, use the drop down menu to select the USB stick.  Near the bottom right, where is written 'Create a bootdisk to aid', select the ISO file downloaded.
    -------------------------------------

    Boot from the media that you have created and follow the instructions in this link: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/681-startup-repair.html

    You will probably need to run Startup Repair three times for him to fix all the boot loader.

    Once completed, your PC should start OK.

    If it isn't, then some files of the operating system has also been corrupted and the only way to fix it would be to perform a system recovery - which if F11 does not work, but a recovery from the PC to its original using recovery media state.

    Problem there is that HP no longer wears a recovery media for the Vista PC, so you should check to see if these sites still have it: http://www.computersurgeons.com/ and http://www.restoredisks.com/

    Good luck
