![]() And related, if the computer doesn’t have enough RAM (e.g., <= 4 GB) and where startup programs are using enough RAM where swapping is happening. One simple possibility could be a boot drive that’s effectively full (above 80% utilization), and where there isn’t enough working space for Windows to work without the drive having to work *really* hard. If it’s an “every bootup” issue, then I’m inclined to believe something related to hardware, at least indirectly. ![]() ![]() Also, the original description doesn’t note whether slowness is limited to bootup (before or after Windows login) or if the system is slow in other ways, such as the time it takes to launch applications. If the computer is not active overnight, then it could be that the lag could be processes that are scheduled to run overnight that are getting caught up when the computer becomes active at the beginning of the day. Something that the original description doesn’t make mention of is whether the problem happens on every bootup or not, and whether or not the user normally shuts down or hibernates the computer overnight, or leaves it active. ![]() It’s not just what’s starting up, but what those startup processes are doing, that may be suddenly activated, such as the Windows indexer, malware scans, backups or other kinds of data synchronization. There may be a variety of things that can cause slow bootup, and condition of attached peripherals is something that’s easily missed (and I’m often likely to forget, myself).īeyond that, yes, it’s possible that startup activities are affecting, but shouldn’t impose 10 minutes. ![]()
