When I start my computer, the screen says "starting windows" and follows with
RPCSS is starting. This seems to take a long time (about 1 min or more) b4
the login screen comes up. Is this usual, what exactly is rpcss?

Hi,

Rpcss is the Remote Procedure Call service and is essential to normal
operation. An unusually lengthy delay is usually something loading in the
startup group (and may be interfering with the service starting, thus
causing the lengthy delay). A place to start:
