Hello, thank you and sorry for answering so late but the user has been on holiday and i didn't have the notebook. The Profile is saved locally and is not so big, I made a new one but the problem is the same. Here another few line from the userenv.log: ========================================================= USERENV(290.294) 18:14:23:655 LoadUserProfile: LoadUserProfileP succeeded USERENV(290.294) 18:14:23:655 LoadUserProfile: Returning success.

USERENV(290.c38) 19:14:32:524 IsSyncForegroundPolicyRefresh: Synchronous, Reason: policy set to SYNC look at the timestamps!! it takes about 1 hour to log in and it seems that the userinit.exe is the culprit. Thank you for any help. I read tones of help on google but i cannot find the solution. It drives me mad.
