I have just had to reinstall windows 11. I have downloaded and reinstalled Kaspersky Plus and it says Subscription expires in 300+ days. Byut it keeps asking for activation code which I do not seen to have?

I understand that slow startup can be frustrating. Fortunately, there are some solutions that can help improve boot times in Windows 10 and 11. Let's explore some of them: 😊

1. Disable Startup Apps:

   • Applications that automatically start during boot can slow down your system. To disable them:
     1. Press Windows + Ctrl + Shift + B to refresh the screen.
     2. If the issue persists, press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open the Task Manager.
     3. In the Processes tab, look for “Windows Explorer.” Right-click and select “Restart” .

2. Enable Fast Startup:

   • Fast Startup helps your PC boot faster after shutdown. To enable it:
     1. Go to Settings.
     2. Select System and click on Power & Sleep.
     3. Scroll down and click on Additional power settings.
     4. Choose Choose what the power buttons do.
     5. Check the option for Turn on fast startup .

3. Perform a Clean Boot:

   • Disabling third-party services and programs during startup can help. To do this:
     1. Press Windows + R, type msconfig, and press Enter.
     2. In the Services tab, check Hide all Microsoft services.
     3. Click Disable all.
     4. In the Startup tab, click Open Task Manager.
     5. Disable startup apps as mentioned earlier .

4. Update Windows to the Latest Version:

   • Check for available updates for Windows 10 or 11 and install them.

5. Optimize Your Hard Drive:

   • Use the Defragment and Optimize Drives tool to improve hard drive performance.

6. Consider Switching to an SSD:

   • If possible, replace your hard drive with an SSD for faster boot times.

Remember to follow each method carefully and restart your computer after applying changes. This should help resolve the slow startup issue. 🚀
