My windows is super slow after logging in. I have checked Startup Items and they are very limited. Anything else I can check on that could be holding up the startup performance? It just sits on the Welcome screen with a spinning wheel for a few minutes. Thank you.

Tim Hunter Have you installed any program or made any changes in your PC before the problem started?Are you using SSD or HDD hard disk?Take a look at https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/tips-to-improve-pc-performance-in-windows-10-b3b3ef5b-5953-fb6a-2528-4bbed82fba96#:~:text=Tips%20to%20improve%20PC%20performance%20in%20Windows%2010,Windows%207%20Pause%20OneDrive%20syncing%20More%20items...%20

Hi,is the OS up to date?what security solution are you using? (Windows Defender or 3rd party)when did this start happening exactly? like after installing an update, a software, changing a setting etc.

Hello! Question - What Build Windows ? Have you removed the old Windows build? When you cleaned up drive C . from temporary files? What Antivirus is installed? What applications run at startup? I'll add a screenshot on this device I have taken little resources in OS(C) I think optimization is the most important = this is Windows 10 Pro Thank you

That is, we have the same builds of Windows! Is your computer powered on overnight and asleep? Is your computer powered on overnight and asleep? this is important for maintenance which is at night and many other processes outside the hours of use!

  I have a M.2 SSD SATA Hard Drive. I have not installed or made any recent changes. It has been slow for awhile now.
