Windows 10: how to reduce boot time of windows 10

I am using Windows 10 home edition.1909 OS build 18363.900 each month or after 3 months or so I do


dism /online /cleanup-image /startcomponentcleanup dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

I dont know what these commands do but after executing them slight improvement when I open a MS word document I see.

My laptop occasionally becomes very slow for some unknown reason.
Like I face challenges when Microsoft Office starts loading it takes lot of times to open files.

System boots very slow that is not understandable.
Usually when I run these commands vmware setup breaks and I have to re install vmware.

Apart from that there has not been any other problem.


When I run these two dism commands things come back to normal and system is able to slightly better.
But what is causing my laptop to be slow and why I need to regularly keep executing those 2 dism commands.

I am not able to understand.

I have to use sfc /scannow also regularly. The laptop is HP 15-bs0xx.

I have 10 Gb free space these days in C drive. Only recently I deleted some files setup which freed 19 Gb.

Taskmanager I have stopped checking.

HP Laptop 15-bs0xx, hard disk is 5400 RPM that is one reason for every thing to be slow as I understand.


But despite that for normal working also this is almost difficult to use.

I don't know what happens. I am not able to understand booting time

I used a timer in my mobile here are some statistics.

It took 2:16 mm:ss to shutdown. after I have closed all applications/


Then I powered on

Initial 40 seconds POST test an HP icon and some round round circles

Now a blue screen of windows 10 powering on comes which says please wait.

after 1 minute 15 second I see Username and welcome message,

then after 4 minutes 54 seconds I see desktop but still the application icons on desktop are not there.

Now after 5 minutes 30 seconds all icons on desktop are there but still I can not use the start menu.

Now I wait and at 6 minutes 30 seconds I can use with Window key to open the start menu.

Then from 6 minutes 50 seconds after booting I can use the laptop.



I also tried after this boot opening a Microsoft word document, I double clicked on document for initial 3 minutes nothing happened.Now I again double clicked the same document after 2 minutes the document opened.

And now I double clicked Microsoft edge after 50 seconds I can use it.



So this is the time it takes to boot and become system usable approximately 8 minutes of powering on. So how can I reduce this time.

Is it time for Windows 10 already?

Here's a good step by step guide on doing a fresh install.

Windows 10 USB boot

Hi there, am not a windows 10 expert. I have a pc in the bedroom on windows 10, I messed up the bootloader trying to fix the xp on that system.

System wont boot, trying to repair via win 10 usb installer.

Downloaded the media creation tool to install windows 10 installer on usb stick. Not compatible with a host of usb sticks I have. Tried the usb sticks that others use, but I think they use rufus; as the media creation tool by win 10 does not detect the usb stick.

So quick question, the win10 machine i am trying to repair the bootloader is a win7 upgraded to win10.
If i were to use the usb win10 installer to "repair installation" does the version of the iso downloaded via the media creation tool matter?

There is three options:
Windows 10
Windows 10 Home
Windows 10 N

Also is there a step by step instead of using rufus as I want to try an alternative method of creating a usb win 10 installer. Preferably with more compatibility.

System is a asus sabertooth 990 (r2?) with AMD phenom X 6.

Also is there any other software I can load onto the usb that can repair the bootloader easily?
That would be the ideal alternative. Thanks

 

windows 10 slow boot

I was having a slow boot issue on my Windows 7 install a little while back. It would take about 30 - 40 extra seconds to boot up for whatever reason.

I would try following these steps, while this didn't solve my issue, it did increase Read/Write to where it should be.

In the end, I had to reinstall my Windows 7 entirely to fix the booting issue. It was taking around 35 seconds to boot, and after the fresh install it takes about 7 seconds to boot.
