That seems far-fetched....

My experience seems far-fetched?? Removing the hyphen worked in my case. I have had no delays during the boot sequence since removing the "-" in my computer, whereas before I had a 90+ second delay EVERY single time I booted.
I never considered a hyphen to be a problematic character for a computer name, which is why I never would have renamed my computer as a possible solution to my problem. Perhaps just renaming it changed something that was causing the problem and the hyphen was innocent. I'm sure there are many things that can cause problems during the boot sequence. Perhaps my far-fetched post will save someone someone else the hours of wasted time I spent trying various fixes.
You weren't/aren't having the same problem anyway. Rude, dismissive remarks don't change the fact that it worked.
