Did you also update Java via GPO around the same time? Check and see if it updated, there is a nasty path bug that is leaving a dialog box you can't see on boot.....manually update Java if it is just a few machines.

I have a few W8.1 systems that now take about 1 hour to re-boot just sitting at the "Please Wait" screen. Did some Googling did not get really any results, nothing in the event viewers. Tried to do a System Restore it failed. I tried to turn off the Hibernation file, still no go. Probably going to open a ticket with Microsoft but figured maybe some of you have any ideas? Thanks Stefan
