    Hello, I'm Jan and I'm happy to help you today. I'm sorry that you are experiencing this problem. A slow startup can be caused by background applications, outdated drivers, corrupted file systems. Remove any external storage device(flash drive, Ext Hdd, sd card) when booting your computer. Here are some suggestions you can try.

    1. Disable unnecessary applications programs that are running from the startup

    Try these steps

    Press CTRL+ALT+Delete

    Then click on Task Manager

    Then Navigate to Startup Tab

    ( from there you can Disable unnecessary applications running from the startup)

    1. Perform a Clean Boot to disable unnecessary startup and services
