  1. Windows Defender Slowing Down the Windows 10 Startup


    Hello,


    Whenever I try to start my computer which is on a fast SSD, the Windows Defender app consumes much of the Ram and SSD just to make it run much less faster. It takes a few minutes to cool down. I was wondering if there is a way to delay these tests so that it doesn't make my startup slow? I mean it must be doing a startup checkup that does slow my computer down.

    :)

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    Windows Defender Slowing Down the Windows 10 Startup

    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.
