Issue with delayed login on Windows 8.1
Issue with delayed login on Windows 8.1
Hello Everyone! I have a computer running Windows 8.1, and I have one problem which I can't solved yet. When I try to login to my account, it seems to be very slow (It doesn't reading/writing to disk, just "waiting" with the 'Please Wait' screen). Booting up only took some secs. I though that this Windows online account was the problem, but I deleted the online account first, secondly tried pulling out the internet, but it didn't helped. Anyone can help? Thanks
Verify your boot settings in BIOS to ensure proper startup. Confirm the hard drive you're using—whether a fresh installation or an outdated one that might be slow. Perform a defragmentation. In Windows, open the Command Prompt and review installed applications for startup; remove any unnecessary ones and attempt to boot again. If issues persist, back up your files to another medium and reinstall Windows (remove any partitions if needed).
Notify your system of background processes. Press ctrl+shift+escape, then navigate to the 'Startup' section. Disable any unnecessary programs, as most items won't be needed until you start the PC.
When booting quickly in diagnostic mode, the issue is likely due to startup programs. I usually disable everything except essential driver tools, such as AMD's Catalyst. Most of the gigabytes likely aren't necessary to launch at startup. You'll probably only need them when you manually open the program, though your needs might differ. If you require them constantly, keep them enabled. Login speed reflects the cost of programs loading when you start your system.
