This is a Windows Update issue. Wait 5-10 minutes for the desktop screen to appear

Right click the windows start button and click on "Run".

- in the Run box  type services.msc and click ok

- look for App Readiness in the list

- double-click it, and you'll have the Properties dialogue

- change Manual to Disabled and then OK

- try rebooting as normal

 

Basically- App Readiness gets applications ready for first logon or when adding new apps. It has been part of Windows since Windows 8 and has caused  long startup problems sporadically on both.

If you have a problem installing a new app from the Windows Store you may have to re-enable it temporarily. You might also try re-enabling it after the next round of updates since it may resolve itself then.
