your PC begins to load much slower when there are tons of third-party programs that are set up to run at startup. However, <a href=\"https:\/\/answers.microsoft.com\/en-us\/windows\/forum\/windows_10-hardware\/how-fix-windows-10-slow-startupslow-bootup-and\/f71c1269-642c-4247-b821-b1047a3a1e55\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">some users<\/a> still experience a slow boot of Windows 10 even after removing all the unnecessary applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"711\" height=\"492\" src=\"https:\/\/outbyte.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/windows-10-slow-boot.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6659\" srcset=\"https:\/\/outbyte.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/windows-10-slow-boot.png 711w, https:\/\/outbyte.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/windows-10-slow-boot-300x208.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 711px) 100vw, 711px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Some other reasons behind the issue include problems with the graphics card, low virtual memory, and even overheating. Depending on your computer build, you should resolve the issue from the source. You may even want to reset the system to fix the issue if there are multiple errors that are difficult to trace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Fix_Windows_10_Slow_Boot\"><\/span>How to Fix Windows 10 Slow Boot<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Software issues that cause Windows 10 to start slow are rather diverse. System errors, excessive applications, outdated drivers, low virtual memory, or startup settings can affect the speed of PC load.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here, we\u2019re breaking down the steps for fixing all of those issues. It\u2019s also a good practice to look into the minor problems before jumping to more complicated stuff like resetting the entire system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Look_for_System_Errors\"><\/span>Look for System Errors<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes, Windows 10 slow startup is caused by system errors. While you can check for them manually, scanning the entire system is time-consuming, and confusing for inexperienced PC users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In case you want to manually search for system errors, you can run an <a href=\"https:\/\/support.microsoft.com\/en-au\/topic\/use-the-system-file-checker-tool-to-repair-missing-or-corrupted-system-files-79aa86cb-ca52-166a-92a3-966e85d4094e\">SFC scan<\/a>.

It is <a href=\"https:\/\/learn.microsoft.com\/en-us\/troubleshoot\/windows-client\/setup-upgrade-and-drivers\/updates-not-install-with-fast-startup\">recommended by the manufacturer<\/a> as it supposedly helps to speed up Windows 10 boot. The option saves some information right before you shut down your PC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, the next time you turn it on the system loads faster. However, there are instances when fast startup only makes the process slower and keeps users waiting for minutes before everything is ready for work. If that\u2019s your case, here\u2019s how you can turn off the option:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Press <kbd>Win<\/kbd> + <kbd>S<\/kbd> on your keyboard to open the Search dialog menu, and type <code class=\"inline\">control panel<\/code>. Choose Control Panel from the options.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select Power Options from the list and click on the \u2018<strong>Choose what the power buttons do<\/strong>\u2019 option from the left-hand side menu.<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1321\" src=\"https:\/\/outbyte.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/what-power-buttons-do.png\" alt=\"Choose what the power buttons do\"><\/figure><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Next, you should click on <strong>Change settings that are currently unavailable<\/strong> line at the top section.<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1321\" src=\"https:\/\/outbyte.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/change-settings-unavailable.png\" alt=\"Change settings that are unavailable\"><\/figure><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Finally, check off the box next to <strong>Turn on fast startup<\/strong> (recommended) and save changes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s possible that you won\u2019t see the fast startup option on your PC. It may happen when hibernation is not enabled. You can use Command Prompt to fix this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Press <kbd>Win<\/kbd> + <kbd>R<\/kbd> to open the Run dialog box, type <code class=\"inline\">cmd<\/code>, and hit <kbd>Enter<\/kbd>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>On the command line, type <code class=\"inline\">powercfg \/hibernate on<\/code>. Press <kbd>Enter<\/kbd> and go through the steps described above to disable fast startup.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Adjust_Virtual_Memory_Settings\"><\/span>Adjust Virtual Memory Settings<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the other reasons for the slow boot of Windows 10 is the way your system uses virtual memory. Usually, when you have enough RAM, increased launch time is not an issue. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, when RAM is used close to its limits, your PC needs virtual memory to run the processes. Check and adjust its size by following these steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Press <kbd>Win<\/kbd> + <kbd>R<\/kbd> and type <code class=\"inline\">cmd<\/code> in the dialog box to open Command Prompt.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Type the following command to understand the current status of the paging file and press Enter: <code>wmic pagefile list \/format:list<\/code><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Turn off automatic size management of virtual management. To do that, run the following command:<br><code>wmic computersystem where name=\u201d%computername%\u201d set AutomaticManagedPagefile=False<\/code>After you do this, Command Prompt will return you the message whether the change has taken place successfully.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Finally, set the minimum and the maximum size of the page file. For instance, this is what you should enter to assign values from 4 to 8 GB:<br><code>wmic pagefileset where name=\u201dC:\\pagefile.sys\u201d set InitialSize=4096, MaximumSize=8192<\/code><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Is your computer slow not only on startup but throughout its work?

Check the list of all such applications &#8211; it\u2019s possible that you don\u2019t need most of them running on startup. Whether you want to adjust their list, here\u2019s what you should do:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Right-click on the Start button and select <strong>Settings<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Move to Apps and choose <strong>Startup <\/strong>from the left-hand menu.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You will see a list of applications that are launched on startup.
