If your computer is taking forever to power on or restart then you might have one too many programs that are set to run at startup automatically. This can hog up your memory and your PCs overall performance. A quick fix would be to disable the items you don’t need or at least do not need each and every time the computer is turned on.

1. Click on Start
2. Run
3. Type: msconfig
4. Enter

This will open the System Configuration Utility

1. Select the Start Up tab
2. The command column will show you the directory path of the item
3. This should help you choose which items you want to disable
4. Unselect the items you don’t want to run during startup

Tweaking the System Startup items will help you preserve memory for the apps that you really want to use them for. Freeing the memory will also keep your PC running happy and healthy.
