Occasional startup delays

Following the Windows 10 upgrade, I observed that roughly 80% of the time my PC boots into a black screen where I can drag the cursor. This occurs intermittently and resolves quickly when it does happen. When it doesn’t, loading into Windows is fast. Could there be a solution to stabilize this behavior? Considering your specs: motherboard Asus Z87-A ATX, Intel Core i5-4670K 3.4GHz Quad-Core, and Asus Radeon R9 270X 2GB x2 (Crossfire).

Restoring Windows 10 seems to be the most effective solution. The issue could relate to an SSD or HDD failure.

Task Manager → Start-up → Turn off unused applications

What capacity do your hard drives have? There was an issue in Windows 8 where very large drives caused slow startup speeds, especially on systems with just one drive over 1 terabyte. It seems the fix didn’t fully resolve the problem in Windows 10 either.

I understand the issue clearly, but I'm busy at work with limited time. Just do a basic delete operation. Windows 10 doesn't support AMD CrossFire or its power-saving features.
