Windows 10: Slow startup

Avoid registry cleaners.
Disk ok- that's good.

Still waiting for
a. Chkdsk results
b. SFC /SCANNOW results
c. For you to try this as previously posted.
Then try a clean boot and compare the boot time.
Also try booting to Safe Mode and compare the boot time.

 

SFC /SCANNOW results were all clear.

Got confused with the Chkdsk results I'm not very thechnical.

 

Then try a clean boot and compare the boot time.
Clean Boot - Perform in Windows 10 to Troubleshoot Software Conflicts
(first part)

Also try booting to Safe Mode and compare the boot time.
(To boot to Safe Mode start with SHIFT + left click restart, and navigate CAREFULLY thru the prompts)

"...Avoid registry cleaners..." I must with utmost respect disagree. Properly used, Auslogics and Wise registry cleaners have been useful in removing dead entries, references to non-existent EXEs/DLLs/etc. While such cleaning does nothing for speeding up computer, does nothing for SlimmingTrimming computer, they do when properly used serve a purpose: removing dead wood which sometimes can partially clog the stream.

 

Please see discussion elsewhere in the forum on these tools-where the conclusion is that an increase in performance is not obtained by their use. More damage has been done than benefits gained. But each to his own. Presumably you do use disk imaging to protect yourself should things go wrong....

 

I'm not an expert on this subject, but here's another harddisk health checker:

Thanks prikker for that link will give it a go.*chuckle

Maybe some of the experts on this forum think that we are all brilliant well we are not some of us are late starters like myself have patience with us Please.

 

I guess I should have also earlier posted:
Performance increase is not the same as removing dead wood that is clogging the stream.
Let me be clear: I use registry cleaners, not to increase performance, rather, to remove specific trouble-spots, sometimes those trouble-spots are pieces of dead-wood clogging the stream.
