Are you saying that there are no desktop icons nor Taskbar during this time?
If so, is it really lasting for 10 minutes? If not, start here:
Run the edit on line 157

And reset the Taskbar to default:
Taskbar Repair Tool Plus!

If this is not the case:
Go to Start/Run/Msinfo32/Hardware Resources, Components/Problem Devices and
Software Environment/Windows Error Reporting.
Go to Help and Support/Pick a Task (left side)/Use Tools to view.../(left
pane)My Computer Information/(right pane)View the status of my system
hardware and software/Hardware/Update and Troubleshooters.
