Hello yifli,

Did you change something before, upgrades, patches etc.? Try out Last known
good configuration or safe mode.

Best regards

unplug the network cable and try again, i could be that it's trying to apply
something from the network at startup.

hello,

9 times over 10, it comes from a bad network configuration:
-Bad DNS (not a DC dns, or a dc not having itself as primary DNS)
-Two network cards, but the main one not primary (in the advanced tab of the
network pane)

any eventlog entry (error...) ?
