It could be some USB device it's having trouble with. Try disconnecting all of them except the keyboard and mouse and rebooting. I had this problem with a cheap USB hub once.

Good luck.

You could be having recoverable hard drive errors. I'd try running Chkdsk and see if that helps. Click Start -> Computer. Right-click C: and click Properties. Click the Tools tab, then click the Check now button. Click the Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors. Click Start and OK. When you reboot, it will check every sector and may run for several hours depending on the size of your hard drive.

You can check the rather cryptic system event log. To do so click Start -> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Event Viewer. Once in Event Viewer click on the system log and scroll through the entries looking for those flagged "error" to see if you can find hints as to where the problem could be.

Good luck.

Hello SumanthBM,

Not sure if you still are still having issues with long logon times, but one thing you can try is empty your Temporary Internet Files. If not, it can cause long logon times if you have a lot of Temporary Internet files on your system.

Click on the thread below in TechNet that has some logging on Windows 7 that can provide log files to show what is loading at logon.

Hope this helps.
