My windows startup problems don’t appear to be stemming from your avast! software. I’ve uninstalled it along with some other suspect progams and my machine still boots a little slow (2.5mins) but I can live with that until I figure it out. The update probably didn’t reconfigure the startup regime so I reinstalled it and ran a ton of optimization / maintenance programs trying to find the culprit. It will rear its ugly head one of these days and I will smite it. Thanks again for all your time and energy on this. One good thing out of all this is that I know where to turn for help with avast! if and when I ever need it.
