Why does my laptop take about 5 mins for startup while the performance is good after startup?

You might have too many programs starting at start up. Keep the programs you use and the rest leave them alone. They can be started at any time when you wanna use them.\n\nTo configure, run msconfig command. \nStart > Run... Type msconfig > Enter

It depains on what type of interent you have and how fast you computer is. But about 1 to 5 minutes

Another thing you can do is boot your computer into "safe mode" by holding down F8 when you start it up.  Once in safe mode, make sure your screen saver is turned off.  Your other startup items shouldn't startup.  You should be able to safely defrag without programs running in memory interfering with the process.

There are many things that could affect your computers performence on start up. Getting a new computer is not the answer. The best way is to back up all of your data and start fresh with a new windows load (Recovery CD's come with almost all manufactured computers). Also If you cannot do that option go to start and run. Then type msconfig hit ok. Go to the start up tab and remove some of the programs at start up. Also make sure your dekstop is clear of clutter. Reason being is because if you have lots of data on your desktop your computer trys to put it in your memory and takes up the needed space to run windows or programs. Also make sure you empty your recycling bin. Good Luck!

There's a cheaper way to do it, but it will take some time.  Just click on the start button, click on Run, then type "msconfig" without the quotation marks.  Then, click on the Services tab at the top.  Services can be disabled from there.  \n\nJust realize that those services aren't what's slowing your computer down.  To speed it back up, click on the next tab to the right, Startup, and stop all of that trash that's in your system tray (next to your clock) from running every time you start your computer.  You'll notice a big difference, espcecially if your laptop is an older one.

Keep in mind your computer needs memory to operate efficiently. Now for example, when you first bought your computer it didn't have too many programs loaded on it, over time you add programs that create startup items (programs that load when the desktop loads) and this increased the time it takes for the computer to load your desktop. Now when your tech came out and installed anti virus software on the computer, this added another program to load at startup, thus increasing the time for the desktop to load. Best thing to do is upgrade your memory (RAM). RAM isn't to expensive and will definately speed up your computing.

do you have plenty of Ram?\nMost peopl don't change the motherboard on laptops so your processing speed tends to be limited.

It's very possible that you have a virus, or spyware, or even more probable, a trojan.  Clean it out, and it should be faster.  Also try defragmenting the hard drive as well.

There is a program called Quick Startup that disables some startup programs. I used it and my computer loads a lot faster.

some times it is caused by conflicting programs, go to your startup registry and see what you have on start up, try shuting them off one at a time to see if that helps, make a registry backup first!
