PC slow to startup

31/5/2024

I have a fairly new Windows 11 PC but when I turn it on it seems to take a long time loading things before I can actually click on anything. It runs OK after the initial startup. What could be the problem?

There are a couple of reasons why a new Windows PC might have a slow startup even though it runs fine afterwards. Here are some things to check:
  • Startup programs: (bottom right - system tray) These are programs that automatically launch when you turn on your computer. Too many startup programs can slow down the boot process. You can control startup programs through Task Manager. There are also some settings menus that can help you manage this.
  • Hard Drive vs Solid State Drive (SSD): If your PC has a Hard Disk Drive (HDD), it will naturally be slower than a Solid State Drive (SSD) during startup. Upgrading to an SSD can significantly improve boot times.
  • Background Processes: Some programs might be running in the background even though you haven't opened them yet. You can check Task Manager to see what processes are running and disable any that you don't need.
  • Scan for Malware: In rare cases, malware can also slow down your startup process. Make sure your anti-virus software is up to date and run a scan.


For startup programs: right click taskbar -> taskbar settings -> Other system tray icons.
Turn off some things that you may not be using, reboot and see it you see improvement.
