Don't know if these problems are related but I was uninstalling some software from my HP laptop, noticed error messages on four WAN Miniports not operating correctly (error 31), then reboot went from excellent to 3+ minutes of dark screen before startup.

Four former WAN Miniports are now MS KM-TEST Adaptors because I don't know what I was doing when following an online fix-it guide after the miniports all stated they weren't working and the auto-driver updates would simply say they were up-to-date.
Luckily my computer continues to work fine but the 3+ minutes of black screen between initial Start screen to Desktop and loading of programs is of concern.
Programs being uninstalled were Andy (http://www.andyroid.net), WhatsApp for Android on my PC as an Andy add-on, and HMA Pro VPN (https://www.hidemyass.com)
Any assistance is appreciated.
