Windows 10: Troubleshooting Slow Boot Times in Windows 10 and 11

Slow boot times on your Windows 10 or 11 system can be a hassle, but there are a few simple fixes. Start by disabling unnecessary startup programs via Task Manager Ctrl + Shift + Esc and enabling Fast Startup in Power Options. Running a malware scan can help clear out any unwanted software slowing your system down. Be sure to keep both your drivers and Windows updated through Settings > Update & Security. Using Disk Cleanup to remove temporary files and freeing up space can boost overall performance. If you're still struggling with speed, consider upgrading to a Solid State Drive SSD

windows 10 slow boot

I was having a slow boot issue on my Windows 7 install a little while back. It would take about 30 - 40 extra seconds to boot up for whatever reason.

I would try following these steps, while this didn't solve my issue, it did increase Read/Write to where it should be.

In the end, I had to reinstall my Windows 7 entirely to fix the booting issue. It was taking around 35 seconds to boot, and after the fresh install it takes about 7 seconds to boot.

 

Slow Windows 11 Boot Time Issue - Need Help!

Hi everyone,

I recently upgraded from Windows 10 to Windows 11 through a clean installation. I formatted my C drive completely, leaving the files on my D drive untouched. However, since the upgrade, I've been experiencing a significant issue with the booting time. It takes almost 1 minute 50 seconds to 2 minutes or more for the Windows login screen to appear. During this time, I can only see the loading indicator. This is in stark contrast to my previous boot time of 10-15 seconds on Windows 10.

Here are some additional details about my laptop:

• Model: Asus Vivobook 14 D415UA
  
• CPU: Ryzen 5500U
  
• RAM: 16 GB
  
• Storage: SAMSUNG SSD M2 512GB
  
• Windows 11 Home 23H2
  

I have already ensured that Hiberboot/Fastboot is enabled, and hibernation is disabled, as I prefer to keep it that way (just like on Windows 10).

I am reaching out to the Reddit community for assistance in resolving this issue. I kindly request your help in providing any suggestions or solutions that might help me improve my boot time on Windows 11.

Please note that I am already aware of common troubleshooting steps like removing startup apps, so I would appreciate any insights beyond those.

Thank you in advance for your valuable assistance!
