Fix Slow Boot-Up Issue in Windows 10
There are a few potential reasons why your Windows 10 computer might be taking a long time to boot up. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot the problem and try to fix it:
Check your startup programs: Some programs, such as antivirus software, can run a scan every time you start your computer, which can slow down the boot process. To check which programs are starting automatically, type "msconfig" into the search bar on the taskbar and select the "System Configuration" app. In the "Startup" tab, you'll see a list of programs that are set to start automatically when you boot your computer. Try disabling some of these programs to see if that speeds up your boot time.
Check for malware: Malware and viruses can sometimes cause your computer to run slowly, including during the boot process. Make sure you have up-to-date antivirus software installed and run a scan to check for any malware that might be on your system.
Check your hard drive: A failing or fragmented hard drive can cause your computer to take a long time to boot up. To check your hard drive for problems, type "Command Prompt" into the search bar on the taskbar, right-click on the "Command Prompt" app, and select "Run as administrator". Then type "chkdsk /f /r" and press Enter. This will scan your hard drive for errors and try to fix them.
Update your drivers: Outdated drivers can sometimes cause performance issues, including slow boot times. To check for driver updates, go to the "Device Manager" in the Control Panel and look for any devices with a yellow exclamation mark next to them. These devices have drivers that need to be updated. You can also visit the website of your computer's manufacturer to see if there are any updated drivers available for download.
Use the Performance Troubleshooter: Windows 10 includes a Performance Troubleshooter that can help you identify and fix performance issues on your computer. To access it, type "troubleshooting" into the search bar
