After installing some Windows updates my PC is much slower
now at the personal sign-on screen. It hangs for a good
minute now where it used to be a few seconds. I checked for
the Sasser virus and I'm clean. Anybode else experience this?
 
Does Event Viewer offer any clues as to the cause?

Well, I took your advice by doing a advanced clean boot
troubleshooting. Not that I found excactly what process was
causing the trouble, but when I performed a normal boot
afterward, the problem cleared up. The personal settings
icon stays on for only a few seconds again.
