Windows 11 is taking a long time to start up, and opening programs feels sluggish.
Windows 11 is taking a long time to start up, and opening programs feels sluggish.
When I got my new system with an NVMe PCIe 4.0 drive from Kingston, i expected a lot of fireworks. My first time ever having an nvme drive, my old system had a standard ssd drive. i thought windows would start right up no problem. Every action in windows would be lightning quick and so on. However, booting windows takes forever. First it takes a long time getting through the bios screen from msi. Then when windows appears, the wheel under my user name just turns and turns and turns, until finally it will boot up my desktop. And then it's another wait before chrome or any other programs on that desktop appears. i just ran a speed check and it said i got all of the 7000/7000 speed expected. My system: ms b650 gaming plus wifi amd 7600x kingston 6000mhz cl36 32gb amd 6950xt kingston kc3000 2tb nvme corsair 850 psu Edit: Just uninstalled the software i used to test my disk speed... took forever.
Do you have a fresh operating system installed and is that your most recent motherboard's BIOS ready to go?
The secret is figuring out why things go wrong when your computer is slow. Turn the BIOS settings to show everything, so you can see exactly what it's trying to do while turning on. Once Windows starts working: Check Task Manager, Resource Monitor, and Process Explorer to see what Windows is doing or trying to do when it gets sluggish. Use all three tools, but pick just one at a time. It might be that the system is updating, backing up files, or an app is just asking for help from somewhere else. Also check Reliability History/Monitor and Event Viewer. Either of those could give you clues about what your computer has been trying to do. You should consider that maybe Task Manager > Startup launched some background app while you were setting things up, or the app might be broken or faulty.
You probably need some setting inside the BIOS menu to fix this. That option might not even be named "Verbose," so read the little notes before you click anything. This specific motherboard? It's on page 50 of the physical PDF at https://download.msi.com/archive/mnu_exe...USWIFI.pdf. Page 51 shows where to press the F7 key for Advanced or EZ mode. Just check that spot first.
I cannot fix this problem. Starting the system is incredibly slow, even when just deleting small files that are only twenty-five megabytes big. This takes a long time. There are no other options left for me right now.
