• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
    Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

Network connection slow to start after boot.

I took in a friend's computer to fix a couple of issues they were having and I noticed something weird that they didn't mention. After booting and selecting a profile, windows hangs for a minute or two before the windows security center icon pops up for a split second saying no firewall is on, and then it goes away.

After this, the local area connection icon shows up and connects and everything is fine. I checked in security center and the windows firewall is enabled so there is no reason for it to think it is off, even for a second or two.

Up until the local area connection icon shows up you cannot get any programs to open on the comp.

I've done scans with all the reg tools. Ex. antivirus,malwarebytes,ccleaner and i haven't gotten anything out of the ordinary.

This is windows 32bit, pentium d 2.8, and a gig of ram for some quick specs.

Any ideas?
 
So windows hangs for a full 60 to 120 seconds before security center displays a message? You're unable to use the machine during this time?
