Windows ... Long to start ... and freezes

Hello
I have 2 questions
1) Sometimes, my Windows is very long to start (between 4 and 5 minutes) when the "normal" time is around 90 seconds
Is something running in the back (like an udate ..) I have no message and my system always seems to be uptodate when in the past, I was informed of updates
Is there some bad setting ?

2) On the other hand, the system sometimes "freezes" (for up to 30 seconds) : everything is "frozen" : mouse, keyboard .... and restarts automatically
Again : some bad settings ?

Thanks for your help

In this video, we delve into the common issue of slow boot times in Windows and how to effectively troubleshoot it using Process Monitor.


Also try clean boot and scan your computer for malware infections.


Run Sfc /scannow command from Command Prompt.

Scan for health all attached storage devices.

To view S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology) data of your storage devices, you can use built-in system utilities or free, downloadable monitoring tools. These tools display drive health, temperature, power-on hours, and potential read/write errors.

You can use CrystalDiskInfo app.


Also run chkdsk C: /f command.

To diagnose booting issues and get a graphical trace, there's the Windows Performance Analyser and Recorder (WPA) - free.

It is significantly technical, and you need to use appropriate parameters to capture the trace appropriately.
