System begins to boot slowly initially, then performance returns normally afterward.
Hey everyone, whenever I turn on my PC it usually follows this pattern: first it boots normally but then shows a black screen for a few seconds to tens of seconds; sometimes it lands smoothly on the desktop without issues, though it might briefly freeze for 10 to 20 seconds; occasionally parts of the startup take longer than others. After any of these moments, the system runs very slowly—either freezing for a short time or becoming unresponsive for a while before returning to normal. My friend thinks it could be due to too many startup programs or needing a defrag. My machine specs are an i5 3570, H61M motherboard, 8GB RAM, 1TB HDD, and a CX600M power supply.
Have you cleared the startup applications and run a disk cleanup? Your drive might be the issue, causing slow loading times for additional programs.
