after using Tweaking/Repair = permissions / delay connecting to internet

Boggin:
I've run WR on two Win 10 laptops and it hasn't altered my boot up times.

It's been a while since I ran it on my Win 7 laptop - probably because I don't use it much these days.

When you boot up, an AV program can check the files and may not release them in a timely fashion, which is why I was wanting to know if you had the same slow boot with Webroot uninstalled.

KR:
Hi Boggin,
I know it's Christmas ... so just for the next time you check
 - I did clean boot - all non-windows items disabled (had only 4 enabled anyways) - no difference
 - did regular bootup (all enabled)  - no difference
 - then I tried boot diagostic option - total desaster - wouldn't startup at all anymore - black screen with cursor forever - no login window
 - got it back to before by F8 > last known boot configuration

- still the delay of 30-40 seconds befor login - webroot now does not start  / permission again...?

   shoud I run WR again - if yes, which items to exclude? ... or just the steps before WR?

Thanks

@ KR & Boggin, apologies for butting in or your ongoing diagnosis  :shy:

I came across this earlier while searching for something else and wondered if perhaps this may be the issue? Do you use a solid colour desktop background?

KR:
I use a custm made background on dual monitors - never a problem
It's just a very neutral sandy / textures gray background that I created myself.

May be worth a quick try with an "image" instead?
