Windows 10: Taskbar slow on startup

It started happening after I updated to the latest Window build 2004-OS Build 19041.630 and 20H2-OS Build 19042.630. I usually fix the issue by restarting the Windows explorer but I want to find a permanent fix for it and lately restarting Windows explorer doesn't help either.


Problems:

• Taskbar is frozen on startup
• No icons
• On startup, takes several minutes before icons appear.
• Windows shortcuts are not responding.

I have tried the following solutions:

• Restarting Window explorer
• Clean boot
• Re-register the taskbar
• Resetting my PC

Slow Startup

Does anybody know why I am having really slow system startups? I don't have extra startup programs than I use to have. The only thing that I think it could be is my antivirus program. I use AVG now since I reformated 2 days ago..and every since then, I have a really slow startup..I don't know if that is the reason..Does anybody have any suggestions, on how to speed my startup? I use to be able to be on my desktop screen in like 35-40 seconds at most. And now it is way over a minute. Any help would be gr8.

Slow Startup

see if my words helps...skip the steps that u already tried.
1. check the start-up items. Run the command of "msconfig" , check the "start up" page(i am not sure of the precise name of this page,coz.i am using chinese version of windows). diable ALL the items listed. save the setting and restart.
2. check the free space of each partition of harddisk. make sure that each partition has a free space of more than 1 gb( higher ,better).
3. check the list of installed programs, through the control panel. uninstall those seldom used
4. it might be unkown comflict of softwares. keep your system as clean as possible. for example, you can disable your antivirus, then restart to see if it is faster
5. it might be fragments. defrag all partitions.
6. manage the services of your system. right click "my computer",click "manage(G)", in the window below, the third level-1 menu is "service and applications". disable unecessary auto startup services.
7. up to repend~~
