    So a couple days ago a really annoying thing started happening. I looked around on forums, and asked a very technical friend of mine cause I am only reasonably technical with windows myself. My start menu stops opening after about 20 minutes of using my PC, and it only gets fixed after rebooting. when my start menu breaks it tends to take other programmes with it, I cannot start my wifi hotspot anymore, but also I cannot boot up some video games. Like Deep rock galactic.I don't want to keep rebooting my pc every time I wanna do something. And I would prefer to troubleshoot this without reinsta

    5 min delay on cold start between login screen and bg screen

    Ok, let the powershell command run overnight
    If the command didn't solve the problem, the try these steps in order:

    1. Disable superfetch service
      • Empty the following folder c:\Windows\Prefetch\
      • Restart the computer
      • Si ça ne marche pas, passer à l'étape 2;
    2. Disable the AppXSvc from the registry: change the "Start" key value from 3 to 4 (see the screenshot)
