"Login Screen Extremely Slow to Load Desktop"
Major Update Version 22H2 of Windows 10 Home
Following the input of my password at the login prompt, the system now exhibits a significant delay of approximately 4 minutes before fully loading. Interestingly, a different user account on the same computer experiences a much faster loading time of under 30 seconds. Seeking guidance on how to address this discrepancy.

- Perform a clean boot to see if background services or software are causing the issue. Press Windows + R, type msconfig, and on the General tab select Selective startup and uncheck Load startup items. On the Services tab, check Hide all Microsoft services and click Disable all. Restart your computer.
- An update might still be processing for that account. To ensure everything is up-to-date:
Go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update.
Check for updates and install any that are pending.
