Hi, I'm using acer aspire A515-56 laptop. Few months back i faced a slow startup issue in Windows 10... It was taking 4-5 min to get in to the login screen... After login system again takes some time to load the desktop completely. I had tried all the online solution for this.. Nothing worked. So decided to update to Windows 11... But still same problem persist... Now it actually takes 7-8 min.. Like 2 min for acer logo screen then 5 - 6 min showing please wait ... Can't find what could be the exact problem.. Tried fixing disk defragmentation and virus scan.. Also disabled all startup apps. Still not getting any changes... Please someone step forward and fix this for me...

    Go for a Clean Boot.

    Do you experience the same in Safe mode also?
    Did you perform a Clean installation of Windows 11 over Windows 10? or, just a updrade?

    Hi there,

    Common causes for the slow startup include Built-in and third-party startup app configuration. Issues with your system files and Windows installation.

    As it seems you have tried a couple of troubleshoots you can try some more and if these steps are of no use then I would you to go for an Inplace upgrade. Even after this if you face a slow boot up it is most probably a Hardware issue that you need to diagnose with Acer tools.

    Try enabling Windows Fast Startup Mode and see if that changes the condition.

    I had a similar problem with my A515-57. What appears to have ultimately solved the problem was to boot into the BIOS, disable secure boot, reboot into windows, then reboot back into the BIOS and re-enable secure boot.

    It should be noted that the way to disable secure boot in the BIOS is kind of wierd. You need to first enable supervisor password in security tab, then it will let you change secure boot settings. After you are finished changing secure boot settings you can disable supervisor password and it will keep the last setting for secure boot.
