You're noticing a variation in how your system boots, which can be normal depending on conditions. The differences you described—sometimes quick loading with minimal delay, other times noticeable spinning—are typical and often related to hardware or software settings. It's common for boot times to fluctuate based on factors like storage speed, BIOS configuration, or driver performance.
I’d examine what’s influencing the load time. Try turning off one startup program, restarting a few times, then turning it back on. Continue to the next step and repeat. Normally this should work. Displayfusion and AviMark seem to extend my boot time by roughly 12 seconds on SATA and only 5 seconds on NVMe. Now I have the applications in the startup folder instead of the startup list in Task Manager.
It's the same every time, sometimes it launches quickly, other times it takes longer. No background apps running. Updated: I have three monitors, might they influence this?
It could be typical, as differences are frequent in computers. Are you using Displayfusion? If yes, consider placing the program in the startup directory and checking the results.
The alternative suggestion is "Install linux." Even though I might assist someone I really like, I still try to help them.
this often happens in multi-monitor arrangements due to outdated GPU design. instead of relying on default settings, the best approach for GPU drivers is to let the user specify the primary monitor. once logged in, the remaining displays should be paused until Windows is connected.
