Issue with starting a slow computer when it's turned off.
Issue with starting a slow computer when it's turned off.
Hey everyone, I'm seeking some guidance. It seems typical that booting up takes a bit longer after a cold start. If I haven't used the laptop for over ten hours, it starts slowly, but after just one hour of use I turn it back on and it launches quickly. Also, I'm using an HDD rather than an SSD. I checked the Event Viewer and noticed warnings during cold boots, but I don't see any when I simply shut down and restart. Also, no USB devices are connected when I power it on. My specs are: i3-6100U GT 920MX, 8GB RAM, 1TB HDD, 5400rpm. Could anyone clarify what these warnings mean?
No such place exists, which is why I'm reaching out for assistance. Do you have any information about this?
HDDs typically offer lower speeds compared to SSDs.
Average read/write speeds for HDDs range from 40–80 MB/s, while SSDs can reach 500+ MB/s.
This difference impacts how quickly data is accessed and transferred.
I solved my issue, though it seemed unusual. The problem was with the VLC media player causing a very slow startup. The welcome screen took 15 to 30 seconds, but now it's under 5 seconds and the laptop boots quickly after a cold start. I discovered that a 32-bit version of VLC might be responsible, but I couldn't locate it. Instead, I switched to a 64-bit version, which resolved the issue.
