Windows 10: Pc takes ages to boot then when it does, it don’t load properly

So got an m.2 as a new drive and after attempting and giving up fitting it due to its awkward position and my fat fingers haha it’s not in the pc at the moment it started to become super slow at loading up apps and just being slower than normal. The hard drive doesn’t show in the boot order but does in the Sata section. I can also still boot from it in the boot options. Now today, booted up to desktop and the taskbar doesn’t load properly then, as soon as I press a button the task bar goes blank and icons disappear.

Age of PC

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



We understand your query as you are looking for the age of the PC on the system. In this scenario we would like inform you that if you have not upgraded the BIOS of the PC. Then open system information and there you can see the BIOS date and time.



Steps to check the BIOS date.

1. Press Windows + R key to launch
   Run command.
   
2. Type msinfo32 and click OK.
   
3. Scroll and check the BIOS version in the list of details.

Note: if you have updated the BIOS then you will see the last updated date. In that case we would suggest you to contact the PC manufacturer and provide them the PC information. They can check and
would be able to help you with your requirements.

PC won't boot after Windows loading screen!

Hi,

An Automatic Repair or Startup Repair can help you resolve your concern. This tool is used when you cannot boot your Windows properly. To run Startup Repair, you can go through
Settings > Update & Security > Recovery > Restart now (Under
Advanced start-up). However, since you cannot enter your Desktop, we suggest you to force fail your computer. To do so, kindly follow the steps below:

• Boot your computer.
• While on the logo screen, do a force shutdown by pressing the Start button.
• Wait until you see "Preparing Automatic Repair" appears. If it doesn't appear, repeat the steps until it do so.
• After the loading screen, you will have a black screen and another loading screen will appear.

By then, it will now diagnose your computer and will do an Automatic Repair.

Let us know how it goes.
