Very slow Win 10 boot up

Question

I am runing Win 10, my PC is 6 yrs old, but now it takes 4 minutes to boot up before I get my log in screen. Does anyone know how I can speed up this process, other than buying a new PC.

Answer 1

Here are a few things you can try to speed up the startup process:

Remove unnecessary programs at startup: Type "msconfig" in the search box and press Enter. Go to the Startup tab and uncheck any program that you don't need to start when you turn on your computer.

Remove junk files: You can use the built-in Disk Cleanup tool to remove temporary files, system files, and other unnecessary data.

Disable unnecessary services: Type "services" in the search box and press Enter. Go through the list of services and disable any that are not necessary for your system.

Upgrade your hardware: If your computer is really slow, consider upgrading your hardware. Adding more RAM or replacing your hard drive with a solid-state drive can make a big difference in performance.

Perform a clean install of Windows: If all else fails, you can try doing a clean install of Windows. This will erase everything on your computer and start fresh with a clean installation of the operating system.

Please check drive's health with a CrystalDiskInfo tool. If drive status is not green, please show tool's window without scrolling.
