Startup programs taking longer to start loading

[Slater]

As the title says my startup programs are taking much longer to start loading upon login into windows than normal. It's only just recently started to do this and with no real reason or cause. Before they'd start loading practically right after i logged in but now windows will log in, load up the desktop and then nothing will appear to happen for about 20 seconds. Then the startup programs start loading up. I even tried opening task manager in this 20 second time frame and it doesn't actually open or display until the startup programs are starting to load up.The computer isn't frozen at this point in time as i can still open the start menu and move the mouse, but nothing happens for that 20s.

 

I've done nothing to my startup programs and there haven't been any new additions to the list of startup programs, meaning that it is not because i have too many loading up at once. I've had the exact same list of programs load up on log in just fine for a long time now. I did a scan with malwarebytes and it found nothing.

 

The only thing i recently added/changed was installing elder scrolls online. It failed an installation and so i uninstalled it and reinstalled it once i realised the repair would mean redownloading everything. But even so i seriously doubt ESO would cause something like this. Does anybody have any clues as to what might be causing this problem and how to solve it?

 

Also sometimes when i restart my PC the time it takes to boot up to reach the log in screen is a little slower and takes a bit longer than the initial cold boot. Like the POST screens and stuff, the system seems to stay on them for just a bit longer than normal up to 5 seconds more before reaching the login screen. This weird problem has been around since i reinstalled windows, but it makes no sense to me why this would happen. If anyone also knows what causes this and how to fix it please let me know!

I disable any startup program because there's no need to slow down the pc if i am in a hurry and i will just open later anything i need.Is better,faster and simple for me.

MSCONFIG is now your best friend...

 

...type it in your search bar, watch a few tutorials on how to use it.

I already had a look through Msconfig before and it doesn't offer anything that i could see to fix or solve my problem. The problem is that before i had let's say 10 programs that startup along with windows. Now these 10 programs launched just fine along with windows before, there was no noticeably delay or slowdown at all. But now something changed and now i have to wait 20 seconds before the exact same 10 programs launch or any other program for that matter to work.

Could be an antivirus change?

Has it updated lately?

Nope it's not related to the antivirus since i uninstalled it to check but no difference.
