  1. PC seems to stick on a black screen before getting to the login screen


    Hey guys, I've noticed for the last week or so, my PC seems to take around 20seconds from getting to a blank black screen to the actual login page.

    I've never noticed it taking this long before, so I feel like something isn't quite right.
    I've scanned my machine and everything seems clean, and once I'm in to my windows, everything works as normal.

    I've tried with fast boon enabled and disabled but no change.
    This is with windows being installed on an SSD.
    Also all updates are installed
    Any ideas

    Thanks

    Hmmm, as an update, I've seemed to have figured it.
    While I also noticed my C drive was quite full, I downloaded TreeSize (Still 60gb left)

    I came across 3 different folders which were excessively large and uneeded.
    One was some old Forza fils (70gb) (This was under programme files)
    One was a Fallout temp folder (40gb) (This was under users)
    Last one was hiberfil.sys (15gb) which I disabled (Seems to be a power option to do with hibernating)

    I'm not sure which of the three may have solved the issue, but it seems fixed now... Strange

    :)
