When people notice a slow computer startup time the first thought is usually a virus or adware. They start to think about what websites they’ve been to, what emails they opened as such.

That is the case more often than not, but it’s something that can be repaired with a plain scan and repair program that we’ll give details in this article, but first let’s cover a couple of the causes why your computer is so slow to startup.

Older machine needs a cleanup

As time passes our machines bring together a huge quantity of data from software, hardware, users etc. It all compounds and at some point starts to have an impact on your computer’s performance. This isn’t to say that you can’t clean some of this old data out, but you will either be required to be acquainted with what you’re doing, bring your PC to a repair shop, or get your hands on the right software to do it for you.

To many programs have been installed or removed

The Internet has made millions of programs available for download. However. a lot of those programs aren’t so great. We end up downloading them only to remove them a few minutes later. The down side to this is often some of these programs don’t totally remove themselves. Small fragments get left behind that can build up in your in your registry files and slow things down.

To Many programs in your Startup Routine

Every time windows starts up there is a list of particular programs that are automatically run. Some might be a virus scanner, an instant messenger, applications,  etc.

These take time to get going when your computer boots up, and some programs might sneak into this list when you install them without you even noticing it. With the right program you can modify this list and easily delete the programs you don’t want to start up.
