Windows 10: How to Improve Boot Time in Windows 11?

Hi everyone, I've recently purchased a new Dell XPS laptop with Windows 11, and I've noticed that my system's boot time seems to be slower than what I expected. It takes quite a while from pressing the power button to actually getting to the desktop and being able to use my computer. I've ensured that all my updates are current, and I'm not running too many startup programs at least I think I'm not. I've also done a disk cleanup and checked for any malware, but the issue persists. My system specs should be more than adequate: I'm running an Intel i7 processor, 16GB RAM, and a solid-state d

Slow Windows 11 Boot Time Issue - Need Help!

Hi everyone,

I recently upgraded from Windows 10 to Windows 11 through a clean installation. I formatted my C drive completely, leaving the files on my D drive untouched. However, since the upgrade, I've been experiencing a significant issue with the booting time. It takes almost 1 minute 50 seconds to 2 minutes or more for the Windows login screen to appear. During this time, I can only see the loading indicator. This is in stark contrast to my previous boot time of 10-15 seconds on Windows 10.

Here are some additional details about my laptop:

• Model: Asus Vivobook 14 D415UA
  
• CPU: Ryzen 5500U
  
• RAM: 16 GB
  
• Storage: SAMSUNG SSD M2 512GB
  
• Windows 11 Home 23H2
  

I have already ensured that Hiberboot/Fastboot is enabled, and hibernation is disabled, as I prefer to keep it that way (just like on Windows 10).

I am reaching out to the Reddit community for assistance in resolving this issue. I kindly request your help in providing any suggestions or solutions that might help me improve my boot time on Windows 11.

Please note that I am already aware of common troubleshooting steps like removing startup apps, so I would appreciate any insights beyond those.

Thank you in advance for your valuable assistance!

 

Would this improve boot time?

I found a couple of interesting options in the advanced section of the boot options the "msconfig" utility in Windows 7.

One of them gives you the options to use all four (I have four) of your cpu cores to boot up. Now, I would expect this to make my system boot faster if it is using just one of my four cores to boot. But I am unsure.

Also it gives you the option to use all of the available memory to boot. If anyone has tried this and can confirm that it does improve boot time, please post.

Hello,

Please be informed that, if there are many startup items on the desktop, it will take time to boot up to the desktop screen. It is the ideal time to boot up.

Also, suggest you to run the system maintenance troubleshooter.
