Windows startup delay

[AzzKickr]

Hi there,

I'm wondering if anyone is still active here and willing to guide me through a troubleshooting walk to get an annoyance out of the way ?
Something is adding a considerable delay in my Windows startup time. As soon as Explorer loads, the system is doing *something* in the background, causing my desktop icons etc. to appear only after a large delay, same goes for the tray icons and startup programs.
While it's doing that *something* the system is responsive though, so it seems to be a background thing.

If anyone is willing to walk me through to pinpoint this, that would be so sweet ! I'm fairly knowledgeable already around computers but doing this together is just much more fun and efficient

Maybe I should start the same topic on tenforums as this is probably not a specific Windows 8 one .. ?

I am not on computer forums like I used to be, cannot walk you through any process, however, I can advise the usage of autorun or anything similar to autorun. And, many have advised using Speccy to generate a lengthy report of what is under the hood.
