After many reboots it must have finally completed whatever it had to do, and things went back to normal. There's an occasional lag after the swapfile defrag that happens at every boot, and I lose some USB devices somehow every few days and reinstalling the drivers isn't too quick.

If I had known every restart was going to be an adventure, I can't say I'd still have gotten this board...
