We have become so dependent on computers that we even take the slight “malaise” of our faithful assistant very seriously. This is especially true when the computer takes a long time to load. In especially serious cases, individual impressionable individuals may well earn a breakdown! How to deal with this problem and what could be the cause of the “brakes”?
Well, the first advice that is given for such symptoms in a service center is the recommendation "check your computer for viruses." Indeed, in most cases,
malware can actually slow down your computer or the speed of its Internet connection. This is especially true of cases when a computer appears as part of a botnet (that is, a network of "zombie" computers) that is actively engaged in spamming. So if you have a computer that takes a long time to load, let’s repeat the advice that has bothered everyone: check it for infection.
And you need to do this not with a standard anti-virus system, which is already installed on your PC or laptop, but with special “rescue disks”. Let us explain: we mean special anti-virus products that can be used to boot a computer from a Live CD for its subsequent full scan. In this case, all the infection will be guaranteed to be destroyed. Of course, if the computer being scanned is connected to the Internet and it is possible to update anti-virus databases.
However, the reason windows can load for a long time may not be at all this. How long have you been cleaning the startup menu? Perhaps every time you start the system, a bunch of all kinds of “bars” and super-duper useful panels occupying a good part of the monitor are launched along the way? If so, it would be better if they were viruses ...
To destroy all this fraternity, you need to do the following: click on the "start" button, find the line "run" and enter the command "MSConfig" in it. The "System Configuration" window opens, in which you need to find the "Startup" tab. As a rule, the lower the value, the better. Ruthlessly remove all unnecessary, and then send your sufferer to reboot. Most often it helps.
And if your computer takes a long time to load not a desktop format, but a laptop? Very often this happens because its cooling system is completely clogged with dust and cannot normally perform its functions. Clean it (in the process you can collect dust on a pair of boots) and enjoy the speed of work!
However, there is another reason called "old iron". Perhaps you still remember how cunning sellers put Windows Vista on old laptops, on which the old XP didn’t work too hard? Do you understand why the computer takes a long time to load in this case? The decrepit iron of the last century does not cope well with the increased requirements of modern operating systems that need incredible resources.
In addition, the computer boots up for a long time in the event of a hard drive clogged to failure. If there is practically no free space on it, then the speed of work can drop significantly. Clean the system from rubble!
