It has to install all of you apps for the unwanted, useless, and otherwise horrific Metro screen. It should be faster after that.

On edit, it sounds like you are past your initial logon.

If you are able to get in at all, create a new user and see if the problem persists with it. It sounds like a profile issue if it isn't the first logon.
