very slow boot

The superfetcher, when working correctly, helps windows running on HDDs to perform better.

You can disable it and see if it make changes to your boot time.

Hello again. As you said I tried disabling sysmain (superfetch) and rebooting, and actually the reboot was a bit faster with it disabled I don't know why ��. But I haven't yet checked if it has any effect on performance in general.

Now its the same boot time with sysmain enabled and disabled and maybe it's a little faster with it enabled.

Did you checked if there were no dis error or warning in the events viewer? You can filter on disk to display only disk's events

Yep I checked that and no events were found under the disk section or anything related to it at all. Though when I ran the chkdsk. Command it didn't find any problems.

I think you've reached the performance limit of your 5400 RPM HDD

So sad . So is my drive a weak one even amongst hdds, and will getting an ssd solve it for sure in your opinion?
Thanks so much for all the time and help you've given mate. I really really appreciate it.

With an SSD your boot time, and computer performance, will significantly improve for sure

Got it, thank you. Gotta start saving for one though XD.

Man, that 5400rpm disk is slow even for windows 7, let alone windows 10, you should've move to SSD technology a few years ago.
