This post is regarding the Win 10 slow starting laptop mentioned in
other threads.

First thing was doing the usual stuff. Virus and maleware checks,
cleaning up temp files, followed Winston's routine of SFC and DISM
repairs, updating drivers ( video driver was good), and whatever else I
could think of. Everything reported OK and nothing helped.

Looking into logs, the Winlogon Notification Subscriber was taking 824
seconds to handle the notification event. That alone is 13.75 minutes.
I found a script out there that some said fixed the issue, which I'll
add at the bottom. It didn't help.

In the end, I guess the profile was corrupted somehow, because I tried
creating a new one and it took about 1.5 minutes to fire up. So, I just
got everything on that profile working and got rid of the old one.

Any ideas what causes this Winlogon notification to take so long?
