Hi, if you open Task manager (right click task bar), look under 'Start Up', you can see which applications are starting with Windows and perhaps slowing it down. Try running these scans: File scans Right click on the Start menu icon and from the revealed list choose 'admin command prompt'. Type: sfc /scannow press enter and await results In the same command prompt and after the above scan has finished type: dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth Press enter and await results (longer this time). If the first scan found files it could not repair but the second scan is successful, run the first scan again using the same command prompt box and this time it should repair the files found.
