UPDATE:
3 hours 16 mins to a desktop that is very unusable. Can't run task manager, it lets me right click, and select it, but nothing happens. tried to run eventvwr.msc and services.msc. Nothing happens. The prompt just disappears. there are no network icons in the system try, but my users can still get to their files. Opened control panel, fine, selected networks. It hung. So far about 40 mins.
Thanks.
