Ok. You appear to be down to some pretty minimal startup action with that. By the way, soft thinks launcher is some sort of OEM software that doesn't appear to be malicious and probably isn't causing your problem.

I wouldn't feel a bit bad about temporarily disabling your current anti-virus software. You'd have to look for it in your startup programs and in your automatic services.

I know that sometimes the virus software is configured to do a software scan or a registry scan on boot. That might be causing a delay.

In any case, I know you're getting a lot fired at you from many directions. It's hard to diagnose without seeing it. Just keep eliminating possibilities for as long as you can be patient.
