I'm running Windows XP Pro SP2 and had ran the latest Windows Updates

end of December 2005. I lock my workstation when I walk away, and
when I come back I simply enter my password and I am instantly brought
back to my desktop ready to go.
Then, a couple weeks ago (June 2006), I ran the latest Windows Update
again and applied about 30 updates (including the Windows Genuine
Advantage
update). Now - whenever I unlock my workstation - the user that I
enter my password into moves to the center of the blue login screen
(the screen that's up when you lock your workstation) - and I sit
there for upwards of 5 minutes before my desktop appears and I can use
the machine.
I de-installed all of the Windows updates that I had just installed
and the
huge delay is still there. I was Not able to remove the Windows
Genuine Advantage update - so it makes me wonder if this is not the
culprit.
I can't tell what it is happening during this delay - but it is
totally unacceptable, and any information anyone has about this would
be Hugely appreciated!
Since you say this is a workstation, does that mean you are a member of
a domain? If so, check your DNS settings. I don't know why they would
change and don't see what MS updates would have to do with it, but it
certainly can't hurt you to look.
Your workstation should only be looking to the server for DNS.
