Why is my Windows 10 Slow to Boot?

[mollyjane]

I’ve noticed that my Windows 10 PC is really slow when booting up. I’m not sure if it’s a software issue, a hardware problem, or something I can fix myself. I’d love to know what usually causes this and any tips to speed it up.

run disk clean up and defragment (hdd).

Update all drivers.

Check for malware.

Possible reasons for slow booting of Windows 10 include too many programs starting up, drivers that are out of date, malware infection, disk fragmentation, or not enough RAM. Turning off unnecessary startups and updating system files usually works as remedies.
