sudden long boot on Thinkpad
LockedMy two month old Thinkpad Z60M, which booted fast two weeks ago, is now taking three minutes or more. It seems to stall as the desktop image appears for thirty to fifty seconds. Running Task Manager shows svchost taking a little memory occasionally but nothing much. When the taskbar finally appears, the first file that shows in Task Manager/Processes is wmiprvse.exe, if that’s helpful. As soon as this loads, bootup proceeds quickly.
Before this started, I had updated some Thinkvantage software off the Lenovo site and bought the Diskeeper defrag program that came (lite version) with the machine. But I removed the only piece of Thinkvantage that was new (Rescue and Recovery) and disabled the other new bits and the Diskeeper at bootup without bootup improving. So I’m stumped.
Any suggestions?
