        Do you mean 1.startup repair options and 2.start windows normally? Any issues and changes prior to certain booting problem?

          the problem is only with startup. after that all is well.have run av. malwarebytes, superanti malware,all is fine.
          have more that half the harddrive left.the only thing done was switch to a usb keyboard.

          Are you saying, everything is normal except for a very long boot time?
