 PC slow to boot/shut down - borasport
Seriously slow - 20, 30 minutes to boot or shutdown
Its a 3 yr old windows machine, windows 7, 4gb ram, 1tb hd

Returned from a fortnights holiday and booted it up on monday, booted it up and walked away, came back to find it claiming it couldn't boot and was doing some diagnostics. I've tried to work out whats going on
At boot, nothing happens for a few minutes, then prior to windows starting, there is a message about not being able to boot and offering 2 options
1 -run diagnostics to fix - this takes 20 mins+ and doesnt find any answers, you can only close it and shut down
2 - start windows normally this works, but takes 20minutes or more
Option 1 has suggested a system recovery to fix, but suspiciously there is always only restore point avalable and it is timed close to the time when the current boot has been started
There were multiple m$oft updates installed on monday, which i have uninstalled to see if they were the cause, but it doesnt appear to make any difference. Also it claims to have installed an updated to silverlight on monday which cannot be uninstalled
Anybody got any ideas?
