The problem of slow startup can be solved by the following methods: 1. Disable unnecessary startup items, such as WeChat, Thunder, etc., and operate through the task manager; 2. Optimize system services, close uncommon third-party services but retain Microsoft services; 3. Check the hard disk status, HDD needs to organize fragments, SSD needs to enable TRIM function; 4. Adjust the BIOS/UEFI settings, enable UEFI startup mode, AHCI SATA mode and fast startup functions. These steps can effectively improve the startup speed of Windows 10.

Slow startup is a problem that many Windows 10 users will encounter, especially after using it for a while, the startup time becomes longer and longer. It is actually not difficult to solve this problem. The key is to find the cause and prescribe the right medicine.

Check the startup items: Which programs are "secretly" dragging their legs

The system starts slowly, often because there are too many programs that start up automatically. You can press Ctrl Shift Esc to open the Task Manager, switch to the "Startup" tab, and see which software is set to run automatically for power-on.

• Common "culprits" include: WeChat, Thunder, various antivirus software, input method tools, etc.
• Right-click to select an unwanted project and click "Disable" to reduce the boot burden

This operation will not affect your normal use of these software, it just needs to be opened manually.

System service optimization: Don't let background services drag on startup speed

Some system services are enabled by default, but not every one is necessary. You can press Win R to enter msconfig , switch to the "Services" tab, check "Hide all Microsoft services", and then disable other third-party services that you don't often use.

Note: Do not turn off Microsoft's own services at will, otherwise it may cause system exceptions.

For example, some printer-related services, Bluetooth support, game controller services, etc., can be turned off if you can't use them.

Hard disk status check: The processing methods of mechanical hard disk and solid state hard disk are different

If you are using a mechanical hard drive (HDD), then slow startup may be due to the aging of the hard drive or the fragmentation. It can be optimized using the system's own disk defragmentation tool.

If it is a solid state drive (SSD), you don’t need to defragment it, but make sure the system has TRIM enabled. You can enter:

 fsutil behavior query disableddeletenotify

If the return result is "DisableDeleteNotify = 0", it means that TRIM has been enabled; if it is 1, it can be enabled through the following command:

 fsutil behavior set disabledeletenotify 0

BIOS/UEFI settings: Sometimes the problem lies in the underlying layer

Sometimes the system startup is actually a problem with BIOS or UEFI configuration. Restart and enter the BIOS interface (usually press the Del, F2, F12 and other keys) to confirm the following points:

• Is the startup mode UEFI (not Legacy)
• Is SATA mode AHCI (especially when using SSD)
• Is Fast Boot enabled?

If these settings are incorrect, they will affect the speed of hardware initialization, and thus slow down the entire startup process.

Basically, these common reasons and corresponding solutions. It is not particularly complicated, but every step is critical, especially the two parts of startup items and services that are most easily overlooked.
