How can I fix the Windows 10 desktop slow to load issue?

1. Update the Display driver

You can also check your computer manufacturer’s website and download the latest display drivers for your computer, and install the same.

Update drivers automatically

After you have uninstalled your drivers, we recommend to reinstall/update them automatically. Downloading and installing drivers manually is a process that carries the risk of getting the wrong driver installed, which may lead to serious malfunctions of your system. The safer and easier way to update drivers on a Windows computer is by using an automatic tool. We strongly recommend you use a dedicated tool, such as DriverFix.

DriverFix will automatically identify each device on your computer and matches it with the latest driver versions from an extensive online database. Once installed, the program will start scanning your PC for outdated drivers automatically. It will check your installed driver versions against its cloud database of the latest versions and recommend proper updates. All you need to do is wait for the scan to complete. Upon scan completion, you get a report on all problem drivers found on your PC. Review the list and see if you want to update each driver individually or all at once.

2. Boot in Safe Mode

3. Temporarily turn off firewalls

Sometimes having multiple firewalls, antivirus, or malware programs, may at times prevent you from performing certain tasks or run processes on your computer. If this is the cause of the issue, while still in Safe Mode turn either of the three off temporarily then try to log in again. SPONSORED Ensure you turn these programs back on immediately after you’re done to prevent hackers, viruses, and worms from damaging your system.
