If none of these tips work for you, it just may be time to buy a new computer, upgrade your RAM or upgrade your HDD to an SSD.... Thanks for watching :)
OR use the same slow computer, install any flavor of Linux, Sit back and watch the blinding speed and enjoy the realization that it was the former OS which turned your pc into a boat anchor not the age of your computer. Now use your money for something FUN!
I was about to comment regarding RAM and SSD. Those two things, often in that order, are the biggest factors in obtaining a faster boot time and speedier experience in general.
Slow boot time could also be an indicator of something more serious. My PC slowed down quite a bit, then started to give me 'restart to fix disk error' messages. I went and got myself exactly the same drive (WD Black 1TB), cloned the C: drive to it, switched the old one for the new and everything is good now. Boots faster and no more disk errors.
I must admit, I was a bit skeptical at first about turning off the fast startup option. But I decided to give it a shot, and boy, am I glad I did! My Windows now boots up at lightning speed, and I couldn't be happier. It's little things like this that remind me why I'm glad I pay for internet. Thank you once again for sharing your knowledge and helping people like me fix their tech issues. Keep up the fantastic work!
Thanks a lot! My computer was taking 3 minutes to be a startup. But after doing setting as suggested by you. It is taking only 1 minute. Thanks again!!!
Remember. This is not a one size fits all. Depends on a lot of factors. It worked for me, my startup is back to its original timing. I purchased this laptop in 2016. It's now running faster. Thank you. I hope everyone gets their issues fixed and godspeed.
My God! This is the single most useful video I've seen all year. THANK YOU! I went from 20 minute startup to 3 minutes. This is amazing! I was about to go get my PC looked at. Absolutely amazing!
Mine took 7 minutes to boot up and I thought it was super slow. Now that I see yours took 20 minutes I'm not complaining. Took my laptop to get it's HDD change to an SSD. Can't wait to boot it up and do some benchmarks.
Usually these sorts of videos are half stuff I already tried and the rest don't work, but this video solved my issue perfectly and was very easy to follow thanks!
Wow my computer was taking over 8 minutes to boot up. I have been lazy with maintenance but this was taking a crazy amount of time. I followed the steps you outlined and I literally didn't even get a chance to set a timer and my computer was booted up, waiting for a password. It took less than 20 seconds. Thank you so much for your clear, concise directions. Much appreciated. You have a fan!!!
@@sunandathete9530 i changed the setting after seeing the video but i did the opposite of what was said in video and now my laptop boots in 2 mins and 3 mins max not more than that
Thanks so much. Worked like a champ. Had an old laptop that took 5 minutes to boot up. Followed your steps and now it boots in 30 seconds. I'm blown away.
the problem is i dont want to update my windows, cause im tweak on my windows and if i update, everything what i've been done on my windows will be reset the windows and it make me to do tweak again, like ugghhh what different.. just do some interface but it still a windowss....
My man! I used your tip for adjusting my page file size and updating device drivers. THANK YOU for explaining it so even I could do it. I especially enjoyed the trick for updating drivers. Too easy! All good wishes.
I love you!The first solution fixed my problem!!I tried a lot of things and nothing worked,but this did,finally.Not only my PC was booting very slowly(i have a i5 8400 with 16gb ram and RX 580 8gb)and also shutting down slowly,but also games were not working and quite often black screens would appear,i was really worried since i did not know why that was happening.
Works for me! Thanks man I think your tips helps my computer boot up faster! The last time it tooks over 2 minutes, but now it tooks only 1 minute only! Cheer!
I've always practiced creating a fixed-size, LARGE page file that's either at, or slightly larger than the recommended size given by Windows. Furthermore, this at least gets placed on it's own, separate partition, that I may even locate on a completely separate physical HDD. As HDD space has become less & less expensive - why not? Avoiding the dynamic size allocation usually defaulted by Windows, means file fragmentation should be eliminated. Otherwise, de-fragging this is NEVER possible, since the OS always (theoretically) has this file open and in use. So by creating it once, at a fixed size, means NEVER having any fragmentation. Locating the dedicated partition on a separate, non-system HDD assures no simultaneous (single) r/w head bottle necks. With the advent of SSD's, however, this has become less and less of an issue.
Hello @ZherkaDiary - In this case I would say more is better. But it's really disk space/virtual memory, not RAM. As a rule thumb, I always round up 100MB. Having too little might impact performance, so for 100MB, why not?
The part about virtual memory just sent me down a research rabbit hole that caused me to _increase_ my maximum available virtual memory to well above the recommended setting, lol. I don't have boot time issues but I could use a big paging file on this one laptop I have.
Thanks for these tips. The first one helped me a lot. Before i changed that setting my new pc took about 3 mins to boot and now its just a few seconds.
My Windows 10 laptop was taking 20 minutes to re-start both after Sleep-mode and System Restart. It appears that lowering my virtual memory down to the recommended decreased my system restart time to 3 minutes and the sleep-mode restart decreased to 12 minutes. One other thing that worked: I removed the log-in with password setting after sleep mode and voila as soon as I woke my pc up it immediately re-started within seconds! I have been dealing with this issue for three months now. Thanks for this video because after all sorts of experiments your video ultimately led to solving my problem.
I started my desktop PC with a 2TB mechanical drive. A year later I put in a 120gb SSD with the 2TB mechanical for most everything else. I upgraded the 120 to a 512gb SSD I got from Best Buy for $65. It's not hard to clone the drive to it and takes a few hours. Best upgrade.
@Hill I keep what data I have on separate external HDs. Music, movies,tv series, games, pictures, research, etc. If it's working data it's on my SSD. I back it up to my internal 2TB mechanical and then it's moved to the appropriate external While a fresh install would have been 'cleaner' I preferred this method. You're right, either way is good.
Good video - thanks. I think the "fast startup" works correctly now (December 2020) i.e I tested my laptop with the "fast start-up" enabled and disabled - it was quicker when it was enabled. So worth testing both ways.
This can happen because a lot of junk/cache from Windows 10 updates that are on your PC / laptop, and there may be some installation that is corrupt, It will make your boot very long or can be forever, because Windows 10 will continue to force the computer install update.. it's not your computer's crash/error, This is because of Windows 10.. a few tips that I tried to give -Open "Windows" Folder on your harddisk
-now search folder name "Softwaredistribution" (This is folder that contains a lot Cache updates are downloaded, you can see it) -and you can delete that folder, or you can move it out from windows folder, and name it Windows 10 sucks, whatever -done
Mine tooks about 8 to 12 minutes and sometimes 20 minutes to barely load the password screen... Now, by some advice I bought an SSD, and... Amazing! I just cloned the disk and now it's incredibly fast! To bios boot, password and usable pc, it's a matter of 10 to 15 seconds! Believe me, try to buy some ssd and then apply these steps!
Thank you for the video, Is there any free app that I can put as the only start up app, however, it can schedule the rest of apps to open one by one after start working?
Dude my pc is so slow like all my games work fine, but it’s when I try to open them. Also when I try to start up it’s insanely slow my apps disappear and reappear I don’t know what’s going on.

I was about to comment regarding RAM and SSD. Those two things, often in that order, are the biggest factors in obtaining a faster boot time and speedier experience in general.
Consumer grade SSDs only last about one year before they die, while HDDs will last at least five years, this makes SSD NOT reliable for extended use.
Use SSHD Seagate FireCuda.. Boombastic fantastic ;-D

I got my first PC in 2000. It's disgraceful how load up is just as mind numbingly slow today as it was then.
Windows just fills your pc with bloatware making it slower with every update.
The first step actually works. Thanks man.

The first method worked for me thanks a lot dude i was really worried and i dont have money to buy a new pc im so relived
As soon as you update windows, the fast boot issue will return.
So in order to terminally fix this, disable fastboot from your bios.
How?
Thank you so much for the video, one of the best tutorials I have ever watched. Very clear and straight to the point. Great
Thank you! Definitely see an improvement now 👍🏼😊
you helped me bro thanks for the great video

idk why my gaming pc is so insanely slow on startup times yet so freakin good on everything else
Probably cause it has an hdd like mine
HDD is a trouble
So helpful thank you so much !!
funny part is ive been sitting here waiting for this video to load for 5 mins
that was very helpful.
thank you
Thank you for the detailed information. It worked great! This was the only video that addressed my black screen during login problem exactly!
turning off fast startup did the trick for me. Thank you :)
Also, some applications will just re-enable the startup if you open them again, so you may need to disable them in the software if this is the case.
perfect tutorial tnku so much
Thank you soo.... Much it helps my laptop boot much faster ❤❤❤❤
Thanks. This really worked and helped!
If I'm not mistaken cleaning the registry could help as well due to old entries being left behind from programs that have been uninstalled.
How do I do that? 🤔
Thanks it’s working fast again!!!
