I wish I understood the delay, but I don't. So I'm here. Thanks in advance for any advice.
I had previously posted in the malware section, but I had no bites. Perhaps it isn't malware anyway.
The trouble is starting my computer. It can take upwards of 10 minutes at times to work through the initial windows before I reach the login page. I've cleared what caches I know of and I don't think too much starts up with the OS, so are there any tips on how to continue troubleshooting?
These are the machine stats from speccy. Below is the summary. I can attach a more detailed speccy report if necessary.
