Why My Laptop is getting slow

[Windows Central Question]

Windows 7
booting take more than 2 minutes

More information would be greatly appreciated, but it could simply be an issue of a plethora of programs hogging CPU resources on start up. Try accessing Task Manager by pressing Ctrl + Alt + Del and reviewing all the programs that run on start up.

Might need to defragment the hard drive, might just have too many programs trying to open at start up.

Hello,

At what boot phase did you experience the slowness, before you enter your credentials or after ?

If before, may be caused by an outdated driver. Try to update your drivers (Wifi card, Video, ...etc)

If after you logged in, may be caused by a network issue; if you have a Microsoft account, create a local account and see if it solve your problem.
It can also be caused by slow program or service startup ...

you can also, run these command to repair you image system, if somthing is corrupted:
- sfc /scannow
- Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth


If none of this work, you can take a boot trace using Windows performance recorder https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/hardware/windows-assessment-deployment-kit
