Laptops Applying Computer Settings taking forever!!!

[mike86]

I'm having trouble with a set of win 7 laptops, they are taking over an hour at applying computer settings. Done some googling and tried several suggestions. DNS / DHCP, remove from Domain, delete local GP history etc.

 

I've tried booting one with the ethernet and wifi disabled and it is still getting stuck at boot up. Any ideas would be much appreciated.

 

Thanks

"Applying computer settings" is showing which I guess means this is on. We turn it on via a GPO however since this has been removed from the domain it should now be off and be showing "Please Wait". Maybe it's holding on to some old group policies and looking for somewhere on the network it can't find?! However with the network cards disabled I'd have thought it would have skipped this...very confusing.
