Answer 2

Sometime back you help me resolve an issue I had with my computer that problem has been resolved but what's happening now is having slow start up what I mean by this it takes a long time the windows to start up its done repairs but I'm still having that issue the one thing I do not want to do is to do a format and a reinstallation of Windows 10. If there is something that I can do which will fix my problem without having to reinstall the Windows operating system that are be really good because I have a lot of my games that I play online running off my main hard drive so that is why I want to avoid doing reinstallation of the operating system is at the end of the day busily I can do but reinstall the operating system then so be it but I want to try and avoid that if possible. Any help you can give me in trying to resolve this issue would be very much appreciated. I thank you and I wait for your reply. PS somebody recommended getting advance system repair pro just wondering if this software is any good.
