Re: Boot Delay
OK, it's fixed. I didn't do it though. I was looking for the specific issue by searching "windows shell hardware detection slow boot time" and I came across a utility from MS
Download: Autoplay Repair Wizard - Microsoft Download Center - Download Details
That is called AutoFix that is suppose to try to repair the auto detect function. Well I downloaded and ran the utility but it stopped me saying I needed to have the shell hardware detection enabled. So I enabled it and rebooted and it booted normally.
The only thing that was a bit different with the boot is a I had a camera memory card in the slot. Sometimes I shut the computer down (hibernate) with the mem card in and then I take the card out while the computer is off. So maybe somehow by booting with the card in there it fixed the issue. Highly unlikely because this was a problem immediately after I cloned the hard drive. Either way, I have rebooted several times with the service enabled and it boots correctly/quickly. So I don't know how it got solved, but it is.
