1. Use a Startup Manager: You can use a startup manager tool such as CCleaner, Autoruns or Windows 10 Task Manager to identify and disable unnecessary startup items.
2. Manually Disable Unnecessary Items: You can also manually disable any unnecessary startup items through System Configuration, Command Prompt, or Registry Editor.
3. Delete Unnecessary Programs: If you have programs that you don’t use, consider uninstalling them entirely. This will help prevent them from launching at startup.
4. Update Drivers: Make sure you are running the latest version of device drivers. Outdated drivers can often cause slow boot times.
5. Re-Organize Boot Sequence: If you have multiple hard drives and/or SSDs, you can change the boot order in BIOS settings to optimize startup times.
6. Defragment Your Drives: Defragmenting your hard drive can improve boot times by helping Windows find files faster.
7. Clean Out Your Temp Files: Removing temporary files can free up space on your hard drive and can improve boot times.
