personal settings" after clicking your username in

Try using the "bootvis" program. It's not officially
supported by Microsoft anymore, but you can still find it
online somewhere. When you use it though, remember to
read the instructions. It might be a little confusing at
first. It requires that you let the program reboot your
computer a few times to let bootvis ananlyze your
performance. Afterwards, it analyzers your boots and
reorders drivers and startup programs. You should reclaim
many precious seconds.
Also, minimize the number of programs that load up while
booting. Some may range from being useless to actually
damaging to your computer. Check your startup folder
under programs too... that's one hint.
