Starting or restarting excessive time

[wbsmithfl]

When starting or doing a restart, it takes the CPU 3 to 5 minutes to come back up. This is a more recent problem that I have noticed. Is this the proper amount of time for this or can I do something to speed things up?

Hi @wbsmithfl 

Welcome to the HP support community.

I understand that you are facing an issue with your HP device, I am glad to assist you today.

A 3 to 5 minute boot time for your HP ENVY Desktop TE01-2250xt is definitely longer than normal. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially speed up the boot process:

Check Startup Programs:

• Open Task Manager (Ctrl + Shift + Esc).
• Go to the "Startup" tab and disable any unnecessary programs that start up with Windows.

Update Drivers:

• Ensure that all your drivers, especially the graphics and chipset drivers, are up to date. Visit HP’s support website to download the latest versions.

Check for Windows Updates:

• Make sure Windows is fully updated. Sometimes pending updates can slow down boot times.

Run Disk Cleanup:

• Use the built-in Disk Cleanup tool to remove temporary files that might be cluttering your system.

Check for Malware:

• Run a full system scan using your antivirus software or use Windows Defender to check for any malware that could be affecting performance.

Adjust BIOS Settings:

• Restart your computer and enter the BIOS/UEFI settings (usually by pressing F2, F10, or Delete during startup).
• Look for options related to boot order or fast boot; enabling fast boot can reduce startup time.

Check Hard Drive Health:

• If you're using a traditional HDD, consider checking its health using tools like CrystalDiskInfo. A failing drive can significantly impact boot times.
• If possible, consider upgrading to an SSD, which can dramatically improve boot times.

Perform a System Restore:

• If this problem started recently, consider performing a system restore to revert to a point when the system was working well.

I hope this helps! Keep me posted.
