The startup process is taking more time than expected.
The startup process is taking more time than expected.
Starting my PC from now on has become slower. I now see a blue screen with a loading symbol, usually taking about 30 seconds to load. Previously, with an SSD, booting was faster. I adjusted some settings in Winearo Tweaker a while back, but everything worked well then. It seems I might have accidentally modified something important. I’m not sure what changed.
You're correct about resetting Windows to factory settings via the "safe" mode. It's designed to preserve data, though I can't confirm this without using Windows 10 myself. If you enter Windows, check the Event Viewer for any Red or Red X indicators that could provide insight.
