Windows 10: startup and restart taking too long windows 11

I installed Windows 11 over a week ago after 8 tries; microsoft had to do it by clean install. Nothing but problems since. Now my startup or restart taking 20 minutes. Every tech I speak to does something different for hours but there are always new problems afterward. One tech already took things off startup menu and did disk cleanup. They don't seem to know what to do. Computer is Lenovo and only a couple of years ago and worked fine until Windows 11 and microsoft techs monkeying with it.It is also failing to send a lot of emails or returning them.

Startup takes too long at Winlogon Init

Hi,

Your boot trace shows that your logon phase took 31s, and 26s was spent loading your user profile.





There is a lot of CPU and disk activities there, generated by the svchost (1580) process.





A quick look at its call stack shows that it's spending most of its time loading the user profile, reading the C:\Users\heinl\Appdata\local\Temp\ path content.





I suggest you delete all the C:\Users\heinl\Appdata\local\Temp\ content, restart your computer and see if it helps.otherwise, you can create a new user profile as suggested by @dalchina

 

Can't get GPU-Z to start with Windows 8.1 startup

I'm not sure how to do that. Could you list the steps for a noob?

 

Windows taking very long to shutdown/restart, booting unaffected

Hi @Serbanx and welcome to Tenforums

First, disable fast startup
second, enable startup/shutdown verbos (it will show you which program / service taking time to shutdown)

if none of this works I suggest you take a trace using Windows performance Recorder (see similar threads on the forum)
