Laptop Slow Boot Times in Windows 10
Laptop Slow Boot Times in Windows 10
One of the most frustrating Windows issues is slow startup. When Windows takes forever to boot, you dread turning on or rebooting your computer. Certain Windows 10 versions are especially prone to this.
Please Following Steps:-
1.Disable first Boot Device
By far, the most problematic setting when it comes to boot time in Windows 10 is the Fast Startup option. This is enabled by default, and is supposed to reduce startup time by pre-loading some boot information before your PC shuts off.
While the name sounds promising, it’s caused issues for a lot of people. Thus, it’s the first step you should try when you have slow boot problems. (Note that restarting your computer isn’t affected by this feature.)
Open Settings and browse to System > Power & sleep. On the right side of this screen, click Additional power settings to open the Power Options menu on the Control Panel.
Here, click Choose what the power buttons do on the left sidebar. You’ll need to provide administrator permission to change the settings on this page, so click the text at the top of the screen that reads Change settings that are currently unavailable.
Now, untick Turn on fast
startup (recommended) and Save Changes to disable this setting.
If you don’t see the Fast Boot option, you don’t have hibernation enabled and thus it won’t show up. To enable hibernation, open an administrator Command Prompt or PowerShell window by right-clicking on the Start button and choosing Command Prompt (Admin) or Windows PowerShell (Admin).
Type the following command to enable it, then try to disable Fast Startup again:
2.Adjust Virtual Memory Settings
Some users have reported that Windows 10 can change virtual memory settings, causing boot issues. You should thus have a look at your virtual memory settings and see if you can change them to fix the slow boot problem.
Type Performance into the Start Menu and choose the Adjust the appearance and performance of Windows.
Under the Advanced tab, you’ll see the size of the paging file (another name for virtual memory); click Change to edit it.

Reboot, and your boot time should improve
3.Remove Some Startup Programs
Perhaps your slow boot time isn’t caused by one of these issues. If you experience slowness between logging in and actually getting to use your computer, too many startup programs could be the culprit.
A lot of software sets itself to automatically run at startup. If you have dozens of apps loading as soon as you log in, this can really bog your system down right away. Follow our guide to removing heavy startup programs and see if that makes a difference.
You can see what programs are launching on start-up through the Windows Task Manager. Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to launch it. If you see Expand details at the bottom of the window, click that.
Switch to the Start-up tab. To get more information, right-click one of the table headers (like Name) and tick both Disk I/O at start-up and CPU at start-up.
Left-click the Start-up header to sort the programs from High to Low impact. These are the programs that put more strain on your disk and CPU, which can cause your computer to take longer to fully load. It’s time to identify what programs you want to disable from automatically loading on boot.
Hopefully, you know what all of the programs are. If not, right-click it and click Search online to find out more. Be cautious: just because you don’t recognize something doesn’t automatically mean it’s bad.
