Hey,
I have Windows 8 Pro and have a problem, when I turn on the computer, after it shows the screen with the logo of Windows 8 loading, after that screen I see a black screen for about 5-10 seconds and then shows me the screen with my user. Why is he not on me right after the screen shows the windows 8 logo loading?
Please help me to fix it fastly, thanks in advance.

The window is showing restart. SO, are you hibernating your PC? Or, do you have a dual-boot setup with Win7 and this happens after you boot into the OS selection screen and pick Win8.

Mine has the second and even then, as soon as I click the Win8 button on the OS selection screen, the Win8 screen comes up. There is no measureable delay. This is true even if I was in Win7 before I shut down the PC.

I do not have windows 7 on my computer, just windows 8.
The problem is that in all cases, even if I turn on the computer when it is turned off and if I do a Reset.
The problem basically is that after the window is displayed with logo and Windus 8 so the transition takes a move to start with my user takes about 10 seconds instead of going straight.

When shutting down your PC Win 8 hibernates kernel and that is the reason why it boots up quickly (Fast Startup).
When you restart your PC kernel is NOT hibernated and all Windows components are loaded freshly. Since Windows must load everything from the beginning boot up (and restart time) is significantly slower than regular shut down/boot up.

I have had similar problem.
My scenario is that I hook my notebook with a HDMI display + external keyboard + mouse
I will encounter this black screen when I start up only when I shutdown with my HDMI is attached.
My boot time is back to normal when I shut down without the HDMI attached.

Hope this helps.
But I'm not sure why the HDMI cos the problem.

See Start -> type msconfig.exe and look at startup tab.

See Start -> type msconfig.exe and look at startup tab.
Just the Antivirus.

What?
There should be at least a few extra hidden services somewhere.

You can be right though.

The hard disk is slow... mine has raid controller but still about 80 seconds to boot, also slow.

I have a clean Win7 with no 3rd party services installed except for sound.
It boots faster than Win8 OEM with extra services from Intel... but I didn't figured it out who's to blame for the slow startup on Win8.

I'm also not sure for the moment.

Some stuff is still to be figured out.

How can i find the hidden services?
And there is not another way to solve it?

You can find more info by looking int the matter.
Go from Task manager to startup. See if there are more items or only the antivirus.

Then look at services tab -> go to services and/or open services.msc and there you'll see all services.
The ones not from Microsoft are mostly additional ones needed for example for sound or graphics.
I have many from Intel but no impact on performance.

I don't recommend you disable any service unless you know what they do.
Leave the list alone if you're a beginner. Use the list only for informational purposes.

Regarding the startup: Task manager is the answer:
startup.png

This is my list. Unfortunately the one with the highest impact is needed.
I can disable a few of them but most of them, as you can see, are already disabled.

As I said, there is something I miss, even om my PC:
Don't know why Win8 is slower than Win7, but with patience and usage things will be cleared out.

There's a chance we'll have to accept the speed we got if no improvement will be found.

Did you see it mentioned somewhere?

Svchost stands for many things, is one of the core components running many instances and services.
You'll have to see which of the svchost's tasks causes problems.
