Ditto.... certainly not on my 'serious' computer that is actually intended to 'do stuff'.

The other 5 machines....they're fine.... they don't HAVE TO 'do stuff'....

To those that are curious I have not found a solution to speeding it up, it still lags between boot up and password screen and even more when bringing up the desktop. However since it's only a few extra seconds I've learned to just bear with it. Here in a week or so I'm going to stuff another 4 GB down it's throat, so if having 8 GB installed will speed it up since DDR3 is getting cheaper. I did roll back to version 1709, a few tings are faster. If the RAM upgrade fails to deliver I might just buy a used Mac for cheap or install Linux. 

Same here with my HP 2-in-1.  The CPU peaks at roughly the same as yours and has a SSD, which means ultra-fast booting.  Thing is, as JC Rabbit says, Win 10 does sacrifice 3rd party apps to make it appear as though the OS is booting faster.  Personally, I'd like it if Win 10 gave us the opportunity to select most needed 3rd party apps a boot, then I'd say it's faster overall.

You're not alone, plenty of people are reporting the same tardiness at boot since the last major update.

You must have something wrong with your computers. Even when I was running Windows XP on old hardware it never took THAT long to boot. My current machine does it all in under 2 minutes, used to be less. 8 minutes is pushing it.

Try this, open the task manager to the processes tab.

Right click on name select columns.

Select publisher,PID(process id number),process name,CPU,memory,disk and network.

If you click a column the most used goes to the top click again least used goes to the top.

Like CPU or memory or disk or network.Also open the resource monitor select columns.

With the task manager and the resource monitor you can find out what is going on

and learn to get rid of things you don't need.   

I bought a gateway desktop in may of 2002.

1.8 GHz Pentium 4, 768 MB ram, 40 GB hard drive.

I got all the updates and used it every day until 2013.

I had to replace the power supply one time.

I never have reloaded the software.

I disconnected it from the Internet march 2013.

It still works as good as the day I bought it and I still use it.

It runs 33 processes until I open programs.

Today I looked at a new gaming laptop just to check it out.

It was 2.3 GHz and running 298 processes.

Will it be 600 processes in six months?

It is around 768 MB ram.

I edited the typo, sorry.   

By the way.

ATT sent a technician to set up a new Internet connection a while ago.

After he was done I tested it with two computers at the same time

while he looked over my shoulder and asked "what is that program?"

I replied "the task manager."

The new net is working pretty good.

Good advice.

Lets say you have a process you think is malware or something you don't want.

You go to the file location through the task manager and go up folder levels until

you find out what program it is and decide if you want to uninstall it.

If it isn't a program that you can uninstall.

Now you can end the process with the task manager and use the computer for a while

and see if it works normal.If after ending the process the computer doesn't work

restart or cold boot(kill the power and restart).The process will come back on.

If after ending the process with the task manager the computer seems to work normal now you can delete the 

process to the recycle bin at the process file location. Now restart the computer

and use it for a month and see if it works normal, if it does you can empty the process

from the recycle bin. If the computer doesn't work normal restore it from the recycle bin

and restart.

Microsoft won't let you easily delete some of the operating system

files in new versions of windows, But if it is malware you can probably get rid of it.

With some things you can just turn them off in the options for the program if you

don't want to waste resources.

When you uninstall a program it can leave behind processes that

are still running. You don't need them. Anti virus programs might do this.

Read the properties on the process and look it up on google

to find out what it does. You can't delete a process that is running.

A message from the singularity:

You do know that every program, app and extension you install

changes the computer and could mix unwanted processes into

our precious bodily fluids.

Purity of essence

peace on earth.

Now we can continue to work on our screen play

"How we got over our fear of processes and learned to love the task manager".   

And I don't have time to waste rooting around in task manager. Too busy with work and other activities. 

Did you manage to solve this? I have a similar issue and I am wondering what really worked. Help!
