Several Service Control Manager Issues (Event ID's 7000, 7009, 7011)
Starting-up Windows first thing each day is slowly, well, getting slower. Went into the Event Log and wondering what may need to be done to fix/repair the following Service Control Manager issues:
Event ID 7011: A timeout (30000 milliseconds) was reached while waiting for a transaction response from the SftService service.
Event ID 7009: A timeout was reached (30000 milliseconds) while waiting for the Microsoft .NET Framework NGEN v4.0.30319_X86 service to connect. (This appears three times)
Event ID 7009: A timeout (30000 milliseconds) was reached while waiting for a transaction response from the ShellHWDetection service. (This appears three times)
