ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 Welcome to the Windows Forum.Why not just switch on the router before you start the PC, then there is no problem? Or did I misunderstand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dencandy Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 Lan & router connections that are always connected can sometimes be troublesome, for no very clear reason, especially if you have various automatic updates that start running. I agree with PW, use the start-up method that gives you the least trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 Something in the startup sequence is obviously trying to access the Internet, e.g. to look for updates, for instance your firewall or antivirus software. This could cause the delay in startup. This may be difficult to diagnose, so it's easier to circumvent it by starting Windows with an active network connection.

gopher Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 Might be active desktop trying to access the internet at bootup? Try right click on your desktop -> Properties -> "Desktop" tab -> "Customize Desktop" -> "Web" tab -> Uncheck whatever trying to loads the page off the Internet -> "OK" to close Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
