Laptop Slow Start-Up

[trixilator]

w10 HP LAPTOP has slowed to a crawl. ... 5min30sec from "On" to desktop !!
Is there a tweak I can use to resolve this or is it one for the experts? Have all current
W10 updates installed.

Use the start up manager to determine how many programs are automatically loading. Too many unnecessary programs will really slow down the start up time

Open Task Manager by right clicking on an empty space near the clock and click 'task manager'. Click 'more details' in the task manager and then click the 'start up' tab. Untick any program that you don't need to start automatically. BEWARE, only untick programs if you know what they are and you know they are not essential to the boot up of the PC.
You don't need browsers, office suites, spotify, youtube to start automatically, for example, but you do need your antivirus.

Work your way through this lot. Don't do the Registry edits unless your feeling confident. Most effective would be disabling the apps not required at 'Start Up'

Uninstall any HP 'bloatware' would be a good start. Most laptops come bundled with processes you do not need.
