Upgraded W 10 to W11 now taking 10-15minutes to boot
After upgrading from Windows 10 to Windows 11, my system now takes between 10 to 15 minutes to fully boot up, which is extremely slow compared to the previous performance. I'm experiencing delays during startup that make my computer nearly unusable initially, and I haven't made any significant hardware changes, so I'm unsure what is causing this extended boot time.

It seems like a common issue I had a ThinkpadL560 lying around which had W10 on it and the machine is not compatible with W11 it had an Intel core i5 6th gen with one 8gb ddr3 stick I forcefully installed W11 on it by skipping the requirements. First few days the system was doing good after that when i try to boot into it took more than 10 mins to reach to the login screen. It is because W11 uses a lot of resources and there are lot of startup apps. On your case you have compatible hardware maybe instead of an SSD you might have a hard disk which is causing the late bootups. My ThinkPad is still struggling to bootup W11 with an SSD. So, I install another version of W11 which uses less resources and is bloat free which is Tiny11.I recommend you install this version of W11 on your PC/Laptop

Disable unnecessary startup programs: Open Task Manager, switch to the “Startup” tab, and disable all non-essential startup items.
