You need to reduce your programs that are running on your user, on startup.

Log in first.
Click on Start then on Run...

Clear the box and type msconfig then hit enter.

It will bring up a small box with tabs, click on where it says startup.

UNtick the boxes that you don't want running on startup. (things that don't need to be running, or that you don't want running)

Although beware, you may untick something that is important and I suggest you download this

Startup inspector checks for vital files that need to be running.

Check out this guide, it goes into a bit more detail on how to disable startup items using the msconfig utility.

You may also want to check to make sure that your virus scanner is not set to scan every time you boot up your machine.

Hi -

Sometimes it takes quite a long time to bootup your rig, and sometimes it literally takes hours - here's a few links to hopefully get you through this and get your rig booting up faster and more efficiently.

I recommend using Autoruns over msconfig (the latter is meant to be a diagnostic utility, not a permanent solution to eliminating startup entries). Download Autoruns from Sysinternals and simply delete any entries you don't need permanently (right click, then delete). Unchecking a box in Autoruns will prevent it from running at next boot, so you can use this as a way to test if deleting the entry will affect your boot. You should only have to delete entries from the Logon tab, and possibly the Explorer tab. If you want to be extra careful, you can create a shortcut to most of the stuff you delete in case you want to run it for some reason.
