Solved Extreme slow program startup at logon

I didn't install anything new, have ssd and have only couple programs at startup and i have disabled startupdelay and system is on ssd, yet when i launch window, there is huge delay before programs start, it is super annoying. I did sfc/dism and repair update recently... Faststartup is disabled and hibernation, i do not want to enable these... Never had problem with this since Windows 10, but it is always something isn't it? I wouldn't bother, but i have to enter admit password each morning otherwise my programs startups time out and it is annoying launch them manually not to mention wait on programs start so i can watch my tv shows i am super drowsy...

Here's how to fix slow boot startup time on Windows 10 and Windows 11.

Check for the latest drivers (for example using Driver Easy Free), especially SSD/SATA/AHCI drivers.
Also, MS has recently made a change that Defender is running nonstop, even with 3rd party AV.
I myself disable it using msconfig and it prevents a certain slow loading of apps and icons.

Any chance that you have disabled some services, that can cause a significant slowdown, like "Security Accounts Manager".

Thank you for answers. It is strange today all programs were instantly already on tray panel at logon and 2 programs from startup folder launched in 2 seconds. If the issues reoccurs i will check your tips!
