Windows 10: Windows 11, sometimes starts within 1 minute, sometimes remains >1h on Please Wait. Why?

Since 1 week, my Dell laptop suddenly began to start VERY slow, taking about 1h30 before ariving on the login screen.Also had 2 moments where it started without delay.Forced Shutdown/.. doesn't help. It just restarts with >1h on the Please wait screen.Installed all possible and impossible updates Windows, Dell, Intel but nothing helped so far.Dell Diagnostics did not find anything wrong.I'm using Win11 Enterprise 24h2 on a Dell Latitude 3540 with a 13th Gen i7-1355 10 core CPU.Booting UEFI modeAt the 'Please Wait' moment, it's not yet loading any programs so MConfig and removing Startup

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand it can be frustrating when the settings of Windows are not working the way they are supposed to.

1. Which build version of Windows 10 you are using currently?
   
2. What is the exact model of the PC?
   

Refer the article to know
Which Windows operating system am I running?

Run the power troubleshooter. Follow the steps mentioned below to run the troubleshooter.
