Windows 7/Windows Server 2008 R2/SBS 2011 RTM or SP1 – Slow System Startup and Login

You may experience very slow system start up on occasion, this is due to Windows carrying out an unnecessary validation of the WMI repository.  This validation is very time consuming and slows the overall start up and login process down.

A Microsoft hotfix is now available KB 2617858 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2617858 and should resolve the slow startup by preventing unnecessary validations of the WMI repository.
