Win 7 takes 15 minutes to boot
Windows 7 , starts very slow – takes about 10 to 15 minutes to boot up . TaskManager shows zero percentage of CPU usage and 20 percentage of memory usage . If I launch a fair size program like Microsoft Word , the CPU goes up to 1% for a second and then returns to zero. The ram goes up to 21% of the returns 20% . Meanwhile it takes Microsoft Word about five minutes to launch .
I’ve tried running memory tests but on the in-depth one I could never see the results because it takes about eight hours, and in the event manager I can never find results to the memory test . I run these tests from windows and from the Windows recovery console but never achieved any results except for the quickie test which showed no faults.
The disk management console shows all the partitions intact and healthy and I can navigate around in Windows Explorer without difficulty . The size of the hard drive is read accurately.
Occasionally I also get the memory error message as seen in the linked screenshot -Microsoft OneDrive - Access files anywhere. Create docs with free Office Online.
Is this enough information to tell me whether it is a software or hardware issue .
Thank you for taking the time to consider my issue .
