This is a local windows 11 home used just for entertainment use. Not joined to azure or ad or anything windows takes about a minute or two to log in and then the taskbar takes a while to load looked in event viewer. No reported drive issues tried DISM and scan now. No improvements tried to disable all startup apps and still nothing. only issues from there are the drives are mostly full and there are a lot of apps on the taskbar itself

This just started happening to me this week, I left my laptop powered on and it went to sleep (something I very rarely use) I couldn't wake it up so power cycled it. and ever since Windows will take 50/60 seconds at the log in screen and then when Windows loads to the desktop there is another 2 or 3 minutes what for explorer to load. I have been offline for a couple of weeks due to a house move and just got internet back today and am being told there are no updates. Very perplexed as to where to start.

Do you have enough disk space?
According to your description, I think the cause of the problem is that the computer may not have enough memory, causing the system to run slowly.
Try uninstalling some unnecessary files to see if the problem is resolved.
