Slow Computer Boot due to System Tray Overload
A common PC problem is a sluggish bootup. You may notice that it takes a long time to run through the bootup process and the desktop doesn’t appear for several minutes. If the system appears to function well after bootup, viruses or spyware are not likely to be the problem. There may be a number of causes for a Slow Computer Boot, but a good place to check first is the Windows system tray. The system tray is in the lower right-hand corner of the desktop which contains icons of the programs which loads on startup. If there are too many programs loading on startup, or if you don’t have the system resources to support the programs you are loading, your PC will be slow on bootup.
