Startup Apps
Disable as many as possible!
Look at each one properly and think about what it is and if it needs to start up automatically.
Here is my Startup apps list:
I have only 5 apps enabled in Startup.
If you don't recognize anything in yours, search for it online!
Some of the startup apps are necessary, such as audio controllers and antivirus apps.
RtkAudUService — Realtek Audio service
SecurityHealthSystray — Windows Security
Some of the apps are ones that you installed and maybe want to start up automatically.
GoogleDriveFS — Google Drive desktop synchronization
wincompose — WinCompose keyboard app
Telegram Desktop
Many are apps that Microsoft or other companies want to start up, but you might not.
Phone Link
Xbox
Microsoft Teams
Skype
Disable as many as possible!
BIOS time
Also check the top-right corner of the window to see the "Last BIOS time".
If this is more than a few seconds, research further to find out what the problem could be.
