Hi Mike,
As system restore does not work, I think we need figure what the system
does during the startup. For troubleshooting purpose, I suggest unchecking
all items in Startup tab and the items in Services tab except Microsoft
services. If the system boots normally without these items, we can proceed
isolating the culprit. Otherwise, we have to consider it is the problem of
system files.
Have a good day!
Thanks & Regards,

| I tried that. I went back 5 days and no change. My problem is that if I

my

|
| Appreciate the help.
