I had the same issue. Tried to boot in safemode, but didn't really help. Then went to www.microsoft.com and in the top left Search field, typed Bootvis. This tool gives a lot of info, but can be used to check for problem startups (including the time it takes for each driver to load). As well, there is an option to Optimize Startup...I believe it reorganizes files to speed up the startup process.
