Pc Slow on Startup

Question

Hey, on startup my computer is incredibly slow. I cannot move my mouse hardly, clicking does nothing, can’t type, and programs don’t start up on startup like discord and steam. The only way to fix this problem is by restarting my pc by holding down the power till it shuts off and then turn it back on. This fixes it but is incredibly annoying and would like to know if this can be fixed. Thanks in advance!
