PC boot time taking too long!!

[Legend207]

Hi all,

My PC boot times are very long for a few days now. It was fine before but since few days ago the time it takes is too long. I am running Windows 10.
After i switch on my PC, around 5 seconds later the Windows logo appears and then the loading screen with the circling dots appear, a second after this the screen goes blank. After this, that loading screen comes back again. This keeps on going for two minutes. I have tried basic things like deleting temporary files, defragmenting ,using CCleaner for reg issues. Still this problem persists.
Would appreciate if anyone helped me on this.

Thank you.

What's storage device are you using and have you updated the OS recently?

When did this start happening?

if you just got the windows fall update 1709. try a clean install of your video drivers and anti virus. if your running an old anti virus it can cause issues with new windows update.

Right now I am using a 250 GB hdd of Samsung with an additional 80 GB hdd of Seagate.
No I did not update Windows. I think it started happening after I used AdvancedSystemCare I believe.
I tried running it again but still no help.

No I did not update windows.
I had MalwareBytes but after the trail period I uninstalled it.

Ye i had a friend that used AdvancedSystemCare and it messed up everything. I do not trust programs to find drivers for me, i find them myself.

Best thing to do would to do a system restore to go back a few days or use a backup image if you have one.
