| What is the make/model of the laptop? Does it have onboard hardware diagnostics in the BIOS by chance? If it is taking a long time just to boot it up to login I would start by making sure your hardware passes diagnostics. Sometimes if your hard drive has a bad block it will greatly reduce performance even though it isn't giving you any signs or warnings of a possible hardware issue. See this all the time at work, not sure why it coincides with Windows updates a lot of times but it's one of the first things I check with troubleshooting. | |
