Hey all, so I want to ask for a help.I guess it's normal that boot up takes little bit longer when I do cold boot , I mean if I don't use my laptop for more than 10 hours it starts quite slowly, but if I shutdown it after one hour of usage and turn it on again it start really fast, btw I'm using HDD not SSD.So I looked at event viewer and I found that when I do cold boot I get these warnings:
first
second
Can anyone explain these warnings ? I get them mostly after long time of laptop being off and just sometimes when I restart my laptop, not always.
Btw I don't have any USB devices connected when I turning on my laptop.
Specs if needed:

  • i3-6100U
    GT 920MX
    8Gb RAM
    1Tb 5400rmp HDD

Cases like this boil down to two possibilities:

1) You have too many services at startup. Startup services are great to make them available right away but it puts pressure on your drive. Reduce those and see if that works. Guide: https://www.howtogeek.com/74523/how-to-disable-startup-programs-in-windows/

2) You're using an HDD, not an SSD. If you tried the first thing and it's not doing anything, you'll want to consider upgrading to an SSD.

If you need to transfer your data between the HDD and SSD, you can use a tool like Drive Cloner Rx to clone everything over. You might want it to run a backup before making a hardware change regardless.
