    Diagnosing Slow Login


    My Dell laptop is still taking about 10 secs to login despite having a SSD drive and just being upgraded to v2004 (it was the same before the upgrade). I've disabled obvious third party stuff I don't need in Autoruns. Doing a clean boot by disabling third party service in Msconfig made no difference. What's the simplest way to track down what is causing the delay short of doing a boot trace which can be hard to interpret?

    :)

    Windows 10 Very Slow Login

    Hi Arul,

    What's with the slow login and unlocking in Windows 10? We're still suffering with the issue, we're using high end PCs, overclocked ones with SSDs and paid that much for speed, and Windows 10 comes to slow down our machines?!

    Please raise this issue to higher level management or someone who can take a real step in fixing the issue ASAP.

    Thank you.

    Can't login to new computer w/Windows 10

    Hi,

    Thank you for your reply.


    • Are you able to login to Microsoft Account on Web?

    • Have you installed any language pack?
    I suggest you to follow the steps below and check if it helps.

    Step 1: I suggest you to select the appropriate language in login screen at the bottom right corner and check if it helps.

    Steps 2: Use On-screen keyboard in the login screen to login and check if it helps.

    Hope this helps. If the issue remains unresolved, please get back to us and we would be happy to help.

    Diagnosing Slow Login

    Diagnosing Network Problems?

    hi, i was wondering if i could get some advice?

    I have my HTPC connected via wi-fi to my main rig. However, file transfer speeds are extremely slow, in the region of 300Kb/s.

    My laptop is connected via the same wi-fi router and experiences much better speeds, normal wi-fi transfer speeds.

    Before i throw my HTPCs wifi card out of the window are there any steps i can take to diagnose connection problems?
