Strange problem on my HP desktop.

I will then restart and it works. the driver shows to be current,I have tried unplugging it but it still dose the same thing.

I can only speculate but perhaps it means the WIN10 files have already downloaded.
I went ahead and manually downloaded and installed windows 10 with no problems.

Thanks Jerry. I thought that was probably the case.

I updated today on a older WIN7 computer and had no problems.
It took about 1 1/2 hours but all my programs and settings carried over just fine.
Other than struggling a little with Edge it seems great.

Thanks I was aware of this and this is what I have to do to get back to the Google search.
As I stated above its not just a few sites its all sites or at least every site I go to.
I was just curious why?

thanks. That cured the error message but had no effect on the boot time.

Nice program. I am usually somewhat Leary of programs like this but I decided to give it a try.
it found about 8 drivers it said needed updated.
One of them was a Nvidia network driver. I Installed and restarted my computer and BINGO less than 30 seconds boot time.
This is what I love about this forum.
Thanks to everyone for there help.

Just a update on my problems
After installing the Microsoft Fix- It the error message I referenced above went away.
I ran WhatsinStartup and it showed the same thing as MSCONFIG and CCleaner. LastPass and MSE are the only 2 progroms in startup.
Zig you are correct I have read the same thing about memory and as to why H.P. decided to throw in the extra 1 GB stick I have no idea.However I have never had any memeory problems and at least at the different times I have looked at I always have at least 50 percent free.

F.U.N Downtown
I beleave you may be on the right track. Since I installed the Fix-It it still takes 90 seconds to get to the logon screen but I no longer get the 20-30 second delay to the start screen.
this is the warning I get from the event viewer upon start-up now

I tried starting without my external hard drive and printer attached and it made no difference.
I did find in device manager a device called a generic compact flash but there is no manufacture listed and windows cannot find a newer driver.
so at this point I am stumped.

Windows is showing all 5GB of memory installed.
I found a Microsoft fix it on the link you sent and applied it.
I have to head off to work but I will let you know.

You are a life saver. I had looked for the Appdata file before for another reason and couldn’t find it but this time it dawned on me it might be a hidden file.
worked like a charm I now have all my data back.

Your problems may be related to a faulty update from Microsoft(KB2670838).
See the post under windows 7 titled internet explorer has stopped working.
I had some of the same problems but after uninstalling this update they went away.

I installed the preview version when it came out but eventually uninstalled it due to mostly compatibility issues.
after installing the final version other than needing to use the compatibility mode a few times I haven’t had any of the problems I had with the preview version.

Thanks to all of you for the information. Based on what was said here and additional research I did I confer that changing the DNS settings would not make any significant difference.
Thanks for your help.

Fascinating tool.it shows the google server to be 21% faster than the current.
just so I understand what I am doing see attached for my current settings.
33301-lansetup
and the recommended
33302-config
So I would replace the Primary DNS Server IP with 8.8.4.4 and the Secondary with the 208.180.42.68?

Problem cured thanks to Roderunner and his post in the Windows 7 section titled Adobe Flashplayer lockup.

Thanks to your link and instructions i was able to uninstall and reinstall Flash and it did cure my problem.
