disabling endpoint and everything else did not make a difference... i
reformatted and ever since then it has been happening.. no idea what
changed..but like i said, only when using the welcome screen.... logs in
instantly on classic login..

If Endpoint runs as a service you could try stooping that service and then.
see if the delay occurs.

In addition:
Run the Task Manager, go to View/Select Columns, and turn on the
following
columns: "I/O Read Bytes" and "I/O Write Bytes." This will give you
details
as to which process is accessing the disk.
Although many processes will be accessing the disk, look for one with a
high
total or a fast rate of increase, especially when you hear the drive
being
accessed.
One further suggestion regarding Task Manager stated by Ron Martell:
In the Processes tab if you click twice on the column heading for any
column then the list will be sorted in descending order based on the
value for that column. This helps to identify which processes have
the highest values for any given item.
Suggestion: Run the undo on line 367 (right hand side):

Last but not least - Go to Start/Run/Msconfig/Startup and uncheck all not
needed to boot/wake on boot and also under Services/Hide all MS Services.
Good luck!

It could be a sub-process or application that's running in the
background
and taking all the CPU resources. If it's a process named: logonui.exe
when you log on from the Welcome Screen it could be a virus. If it's
not logonui.exe but another process you should be able to find the
cause of the slowdown by following the instructions below.
Note that the last paragraph in this post may be your best choice
for finding the problem. Also watch the CPU graph and make sure
that the CPU is at idle (nothing running) before you press
Windows Key+L, then wait a few seconds and log back on.
To find and display what could be the problem try Process Explorer:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653.aspx
Once you have Process Explorer installed and running:
In the taskbar select View and check 'Show Process Tree' and the
'Show Lower Pane' options.
Then expand the process named 'Explorer' (click on the + sign)
In the column on the left named 'CPU', look for any high CPU usage.
Next click on the CPU column to sort the processes by %CPU usage
(Highest to Lowest).
Move the mouse cursor over any process,
you should see a popup with some detailed info.
Then mouse over the process that's using most or all the CPU %.
Then click on that process to highlight it,
Now that it's highlighted, right click and from the options listed
select:
'Search Online'.
This should display what out there on the web about that process.
You can also double click on any process to open up a more detailed
'Properties' window.
Note: some entries like Explorer, System/Services, and Svchost
may need to be expanded to show the detail (sub processes),
in this case click on the + located to the left of the entry.
An alternate method when using Process Explorer
is to double click on the Graph just below the Menu bar.
This will open the 'System Information' window, which has a larger
display
of all three graphs. Move your mouse over any spike in the
CPU Usage graph to see what process/application or service is the cause
of the spike.

Ok, this is stumping me. Let's say I'm *already* logged into windows.
If
I
hit Windows Key+L to lock the PC and get to the welcome screen, there
is
a
slight delay with a blue screen. Now, if I type my password in (and
mind
you,
everything is idle, nothing is loading or working in the background),
why
is
there is 5-10 second delay after hitting enter? The same happens if I
don't
even have a password...
Any ideas??
