2) Click Choose what the power button does.
3) Click Change settings that are currently unavailable.
4) Untick Turn on fast startup (recommended). Then Click Save Changes.
5) Reboot your Windows 10 device and check to see if it boots quickly. If you’re still experiencing a slow boot, you can move onto our next method.
Solution2: Disable Processes with High Startup Impact

2) Click Startup and see what unnecessary processes are enabled with high startup impact.
3) Right-click on any processes that need to be disabled. Then click Disable and close the window.
4) Reboot your Windows 10 computer and check to see if it boots quickly. If it still boots slowly, you can move on to our third method.
Solution3: Update your graphics card driver
If there’re any old or corrupted drivers on your Windows 10 PC, this can cause your computer to boot slowly. You can update your device drivers to solve your problem.

If you’re not confident playing around with drivers manually, or if you want to save some time, you can use driver easy to do it automatically.
1) Install Driver Easy.
2) Run Driver Easy and click Scan Now button. Driver Easy will then scan your computer and detect any problem drivers. You sound driver is no exception.
3) Click Update All to automatically download and install the correct version of all the drivers that are missing or out of date on your system.
4) Reboot your Windows 10 computer and check to see if it boots quickly.
