Windows 10 times very slow?

My laptop takes about 20 minutes to boot up or start up.

He spends most of it on the 'Welcome' screen after I type in my PIN / password. Can you help me? I tried to search for viruses in vain. (I used the Windows virus scanner, somewhere in the system settings) I also checked the programs that are started when the laptop was started, turned off most of them, but hardly noticed any difference.

Did you install it on an HDD, if so how old is the disk?

I know very little about computer tech, what is HDD?

The laptop is about 3 years old and was repaired 1 1/2 years ago because it always got stuck, maybe something was done with the plate?

Presumably old PC, lame hard disk, and over the years a lot has accumulated that is not necessary and makes everything even slower.

The HDD is the hard drive there's still an SSD and these are the faster ones I think your hard drive is too old and therefore extremely slow

So changing a hard drive would fix that? I was surprised that the day before it was still '' great '' (5 minutes maximum) but suddenly increased to 20 minutes +.

Hi

You probably have a lot of old files on your laptop.

You can do this with this

remedy.

If it is not better afterwards, only reinstalling Windows will help.

If you have a HDD then you feel a vibration when you put your hand on your laptop

Isn't 20 minutes too extreme for something like that?

Ho

And you usually hear them

de

Subtle warmth and quiet noise, otherwise no vibration.

I will try it, thanks!

With pleasure.

If you don't have a CD / DVD drive then if I'm not mistaken the HDD can only make a noise (and the ventilation)
