Question Loading times slow because of CPU and GPU or HDD?

[mcpvperz1]

Simple question I hope. I have an I5-10600k partnered with a 1660 TI. Whenever I'm opening simple programs like task manager or browsers, I feel like they take too long to load. Would that be dealing with my hardware or my drive? I don't have an SSD and still using a 1TB HDD. Thanks guys.

Please list the specs to your build like so:
