Weird "Welcome Screen" Freeze

[Zain]

Hey everyone.


I've had my laptop for about a year.

Sometimes, when I would type in my password to log into my desktop, it would freeze at the Welcome Screen for a bit, then once I get to my desktop, its just a black screen with my mouse. When I first got it, it only happened once every 2-3 weeks. Now, it happens more than once every week.

I am able to use Task Manager while on this black screen, but my desktop items don't load.

It starts after I type in my password, then I have to wait a much longer amount of time for it to load to my desktop than normal

Normal would be about 10 seconds.
The weird freezing would be about 3minutes.

Is something wrong inside? Or what? I'm completely stumped.

Thanks in advance.

Sweeet, im not alone!

I just don't get how some days it would load perfectly fast, and on some days it would load SOOO slow, and the welcome screen would take forever to get on the desktop. But once it gets on the desktop, i have to wait like..another 10minutes for it to load.

When I restart it a couple of times, it gets back to normal.
