Recently, my HP Pavilion laptop became slow to boot all of a sudden. I haven't changed any of my startup programs, and I'm not sure if an update was applied before this. My login screen becomes laggy, and sometimes I have to press keys a few times to be able to input my password. Logging in is also slow; my programs take awhile to start.
Here are a list of things I have tried:

Here are a list of things I have tried:
- chkdsk - No errors were found.
- DISM
- System File Checker (sfc) - it always ended up getting stuck at "beginning system scan. ..."
- Disabling a few startup programs and services
- System Restore (I'm seeing two critical update restore points)
- Safe boot
- Refreshing Windows - I haven't tried this yet due to the possibly painstaking process of backing up some AppData, which I'm not yet ready for.
Thanks
