Windows 10: Gaming PC suddenly extremely slow during boot (No startup programs are allowed)

Hello,


I have a Lenovo Legion Y530-15ICH gaming laptop. Recently, particularly after a Windows Update caused a black screen desktop (ironically fixed via another Windows update) boot times have been upwards of 4-5 minutes, when it was previously near 45 seconds. I have no idea what the problem could be as no programs begin on startup except for critical processes. I have also noticed a downgrade in performance of the computer past boot, and it freezes constantly during the installation of any program. Specifications & screenshots are below. Also, please note, I've only had this computer for near 8 months however it did come refurbished, which does bring HDD failure concerns, but it is covered under warranty nevertheless.


CPU: Intel Core i7-8750H (@ 2.20GHz)

Memory: 16GB DDR4 2666MHz

Storage (HDD): 1 TB 7200 RPM Sata Hard Drive

Graphics: NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1050 Ti 4 GB


Other Specifications:

Windows 10 Home


Thanks, Ill.

Slow Startup

Does anybody know why I am having really slow system startups? I don't have extra startup programs than I use to have. The only thing that I think it could be is my antivirus program. I use AVG now since I reformated 2 days ago..and every since then, I have a really slow startup..I don't know if that is the reason..Does anybody have any suggestions, on how to speed my startup? I use to be able to be on my desktop screen in like 35-40 seconds at most. And now it is way over a minute. Any help would be gr8.

My pc is reacting slow

Hello Nizho,

There are many possible causes why your computer is running slow. Examples are
not enough hard drive space, too many programs running at startup or in the background, data Corruption and hard disk fragmentation.

Before we proceed, please provide the following:

• What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?
• Have you check the status of CPU usage?

For now, we suggest you to perform a

clean startup to determine whether background programs are interfering.

We’re looking forward for your response.

 

My pc takes for ever to shut down when i restart

Suggest cleaning up your startup list .There may be many services / Apps you can remove on startup which is not needed on boot or during shutdown.
Before you shutdown the Pc check what is running in Task Manager as a program or service in not killing the process on shutdown

Would suggest cleaning up running apps and services -Autoruns, StartupMonitor,HighjackThis,
Malware Scan - Malwarebytes,ADWcleaner, Combofix
