Question

Welcome Screen is Freezing

Jan 24, 2014 10:22PM PST

I can not get pass the blue "Welcome" screen without hitting ctrl-alt-del. The "require users to enter ctrl-alt-del when logging in" option is already disabled.

Any suggestions?

Try some cleaning.

I think some cleaning is in order. Try disabling some start-up scripts, they might be causing this problem. CCleaner is a good freeware for a total system cleanup. Keep some space on the C: drive. I hope it helps.
