Having a long boot in Windows 10? Relax, you are not alone. The problem of slow startup is indeed a fairly common problem and experienced by many users. If you are one of them, then the following tips will help to speed things up.
Various factors can affect the fast or slow startup of Windows 10 on the laptop or PC you are using, such as the amount of software installed and loaded at startup, specifications, and the version of Windows used.
Slow boot issues can also appear in different forms from one device to another, including:
1. Booting is slow after updating
2. Windows 10 only shows black screen on boot
3. The boot process stops at the Windows logo for a very long time can’t even enter the desktop
4. Booting stops at BIOS screen
The above problems can occur even on high-spec laptops that already use SSDs. The problem is sometimes not just because of the specifications, but more with the health of the Windows 10 system itself.
The following are some ways to overcome slow startup and booting in Windows 10.
1. Reduce programs loaded at startup
Upon entering the desktop, Windows will load the programs that are set to run at startup. Some of them are indeed needed such as graphics drivers, desktop managers, and other programs that play a role so that the system can run.
However, some programs, especially those from third-party applications such as antivirus, PC cleaner, and other applications, should be limited in number. Set only the absolutely essential applications to run at startup.
Too many programs running at startup is one of the reasons that makes it slow because Windows takes longer to load all the programs.
To reduce programs running at startup follow these steps:
1. Open Task Manager by right-clicking on the Task Bar and selecting Task Manager
2. In the Task Manager program click on the Startup tab
3. There you will see all the programs running on your laptop startup
4. Select non-essential programs to run on Startup
5. Turn off the program by pressing the Disabled button
2. In the Task Manager program click on the Startup tab
3. There you will see all the programs running on your laptop startup
4. Select non-essential programs to run on Startup
5. Turn off the program by pressing the Disabled button

4. Upgrade to SSD
It’s no secret that SSDs are much faster than regular hard drives. SSD has a speed of reading and writing data up to 4-5 times faster than a hard drive and this is quite a difference.
Upgrading to an SSD will make all processes in Windows 10 faster overall, including booting and startup. The most noticeable difference is that when opening the program, the time it takes to load is very short.
If your laptop is still using a regular hard drive, try setting aside some of your money to plan an upgrade to an SSD. Currently the price of SSD in the market is also quite affordable.
5. PC Reset
If you’ve tried all the tips to speed up a slow Windows 10 startup above but nothing works, then the last remaining solution is to do a PC Reset.
When you hit a dead end and don’t know what else to do, Reset your PC is something you can do without having to reinstall Windows 10.
follow these steps:
1. Click the Start button and select Settings
2. Select the Update & Security menu
3. Click on the Recovery tab
4. Click the Get started button in the Reset this PC section
5. Select the option Keep my files
6. Click the Next button and then click Reset

Doing a reset in the way above will not lose your data. What will be deleted are only third-party applications that are not default Windows 10. After the reset is complete you may need to reinstall the necessary programs.
