Hi, this one is driving me nuts, have a win 7 home pre 64 bit machine that was very infected, I cleaned it all up and it keeps hanging on the blue windows 7 welcome screen on boot for like 5 mins. once it gets to the desktop its fine. I have run all hardware tests and booted to safe mode and disabled everything except known startups and imported default services. I booted to erd and tried to run sfc but got pending update issue so I deleted the pending.xml file, also sfc run from within windows at cmd stops at 21% with a Windows Resource Protection could not perform the requested operation error. Ideas?

Boot logging still doesnt have time stamps per line right?
Sync the computers time to your watch or something. Make note of what time exactly you see the windows logo, look at the hd activity light make note of times when theres no activity. Compare to windows event logs.....im assuming you already checked for timeouts or any other warning/errors?

might be worth creating a new user and logging in to see if it's a dubious profile
ok, heres the log, it hung at about 8:20, any insight would help, I'm terrible at deciphering these things!

Uninstall microsoft security essentials, once you do that check its folder (if its still there) in program files / program files 86 to confirm you have access to all the subfolders and not some ghetto symlink from zero access. go ahead and check the windows defender folder too.
Do this, reboot, get the logs posted again.

very infected
chkdsk,sfc, no worky, pull important data, reload.
I agreed, backup data if got a chance to boot ok.
Then install the OS from the scratch.
This really worth to do since already done much on checking.
Hope this helps.

Wouldn't you back up the data regardless of whether it can boot or not? First thing we'd do is image the drive.
