C:\ drive is an SSD but it takes over a minute for the machine to boot. Save As results in 'Working on it' and I will have completely finished this message before Speccy gets me a summary.

Something isn't right! The machine has decent specs, there are no viruses, plenty of headroom on C:\, I can't think of anything that might be causing the slowdown. Where do you start, anyone got any ideas?
