“I need help! My Acer
laptop takes at least 10 minutes to load before it goes to the login screen. It
is really annoying. Even I emptied the recycle bin; it still takes a long time
to boot. I have no idea what to do to speed up computer startup. It would be grateful
if someone could help me out. My Acer laptop is in Windows 10. Thanks?”
It is common to see such Acer laptop taking too long to
start issues on Acer forum. Yes, the longer the computer you use, the slower the
computer runs. But, you can still make your Acer laptop run as faster as before
if you know the ways. Here we will analyze why the Acer computer takes time
booting and its corresponding solutions.
Reasons for Acer
Taking a Long time to Boot
Just as the issue describes in the beginning, the Acer
computer stays on the Windows loading logo for a long time. In other words, the
computer is in slow booting. We deep into the reasons and separate it into
three sections:
Reason 1: Too many
auto-startup programs running in Windows 10 boot time
Just as you are ready to run in a campaign, the more things
you carry, the slower you will be, the more time will be needed. It is the same to
the computer booting. The more startup programs you have, the longer it will
take to launch the computer. What’s the
startup program? It is the utility that is started automatically while the
computer boots. A program can be enabled as the startup programs in the
installation process. But you can disable its auto-startup in Windows 10 with
no difficulty.
Reason 2: Your hard disk is fragmented
Fragmentation stores files in non-contiguous areas on the
disk, so your storage space is not used efficiently, which reduces the
performance of your hard drive. And
defragmentation is the process of removing fragmentation from your hard drive
with the goal of increasing the speed of reading and writing files, thereby
increasing the speed of your computer. Thus, you need to make a defragment for
your Acer hard drive.
Reason 3: There could
be a virus infection
It is easy for computer to infect viruses or malware. When the Acer computer is super slow, it may be
caused by malware running in the background, which consumes too much system
resources. You can use Windows defender
to protect your Acer computer.
