Very slow start up
Hello, I have an HP with 8gb ram 6core 64 bit running Windows 8 pro.
I have hidden all micorosoft services and have only the necessities running at start up, pretty bare bones. It takes at least 4 minutes for the pc to start up. What could cause this, and is there a way for it to start up faster? I mean, even once I get to my desk top, it takes a few minutes before I can even click anything. I defrag once a week and I am virus free. I do have a lot of software installed, I have 600gb free out of 1tb, and none of my software runs at startup, so I am at a loss.
