Some computers boot in 20 seconds and others require minutes to complete the entire boot process. Quite different numbers that can cause the despair of many users, who see how their computer suffers more than desired to start up.
Reasons that slow down the PC startup
That our computer takes a long time to start up is not something accidental and can occur for different reasons, some of them related to its hardware. The more powerful the computer is, the faster it should boot. This is something that mainly helps the presence of adisco SSD instead of HDD conventional, since it will allow us to start in a matter of a few seconds.
Another factor that greatly influences the number of files stored. As we fill the hard drive with files and programs, it will cost the system more to log in. In addition, programs load the libraries and services at the beginning of the system, which has an effect on a notable slowdown in the boot speed.
Other reasons that have to do with the slow start of the system, especially after an update, may be due to some important files being corrupted. The presence of a virus this could be another reason why the computer has a harder time starting up than desired, as well as problems related to hard disk fragmentation.
All or some of these factors can make a quick boot of our computer turn into endless torture.
Tips to improve starting
If we want to get our PC to start up as quickly as possible, perhaps we should spend some time knowing what happens to try to solve it. If the hard disk is full or quite busy, we must ask clean of everything that we do not need. We must also review all programs start the same time as Windows and do without it in case we do not need it. In case we have a traditional hard drive, it would not hurt to defragment it, and to the best of our ability, try change it for an SSD disk, we will notice the difference.
Nor should we overlook the possibility of conducting a scan with our antivirus, in case some unwanted “bug” has slipped into us or run the SFC command, so that it is responsible for verifying and repairing those system files that are missing or damaged and that may be negatively affecting the system startup.
Although it may seem to us that we cannot do anything to avoid the slowdown of Windows when it starts, the truth is that it is in our power to do everything possible to gain a few seconds from the clock and avoid getting frustrated every time we press the power button of the PC.
