Why does my PC start so slowly?

I have a relatively new mid-range Pc: Ryzen 3600, RTX 2060 Super, B450 gaming plus, plus 16 GB Ram at 3200 Mhz and the Samsung 970 Evo Plus (one of the fastest SSD on the market). Nevertheless, my PC needs about 20-25 seconds to start. It is definitely still very fast, but why is my 5 year old laptop with an i7 from 2013 and a much slower SSD, for example, faster than my PC. I have already installed some programs on the PC, but why is the PC so "slow"

Either you have a lot of files on your PC that may also be in auto start or your hard drive is already very old

At what age do you think SSDs get slower?

Depends on. From 10-20y

His has been on the market for 2 years.

Well, there are already a few files in the autostart folder, but I think it won't matter that much. It won't be the hard drive.

I'm just saying: Either you have a lot of files on your PC that may also be in autostart […]

Sorry, it was funny. The questioner seems to be very proud of his SSD and you write that it may be too old.

Yes sry🤣😅

Something like this can be due to the mainboard or BIOS. When the Ryzen 3000 and X570 board were released, there were problems with the long boot times. You may also have a "Fast Boot" setting for it.
