tartup > OK. Check the Task Scheduler in Administrative tasks on the control panel for additional startup entries. Remove Antivirus and use Windows Defender instead (may not be optimal but boots faster than others). Switch visuals to Performance, go to Advanced System Settings (left sidebar), select Advanced, then Settings (under Performance header), click Performance (radio button), then OK. Run defrag. Adjust the Windows theme to Classic. If you're confident, turn off unused services.
