Why is my HP Laptop showing slow boot

Common culprits include background apps, driver issues, and heat. The free scan ranks the likely causes on your device.

Is the scan safe for my files

Yes. It reads performance signals only and does not access or delete personal files.

Disable heavy startup apps, update GPU and chipset drivers, and clean temp files. Then run the scan to validate improvements.

Usually no. If temperatures or memory use stay high at idle, consider re paste or adding RAM.

Most steps take 5 to 10 minutes. The scan usually completes within a few minutes.

Keep drivers updated, limit startup items, clean dust, and schedule periodic scans.

Start with easy steps, then use the scan for deeper checks like drivers, startup load, temperature, and disk health.

Windows logo sits for long, desktop loads slowly, disk usage 100 percent on startup

disable startup apps; check Windows Update; toggle Fast Startup; check disk health

Disable non essential startup items, install pending updates, try turning Fast Startup off, run chkdsk and SMART check for drive issues

Keep startup lean, avoid too many background updaters, periodically clean temp files

Free PC scan checks startup load, drivers, thermal throttling, disk health and extensions
