Boot & Startup - Black screen and then "Please wait" message appears before Login screen

[H.M. Joisa]

When I boot the laptop (Lenovo Ideapad 310), there's the usual windows loading animation, and then the entire screen becomes black (no cursor). After 5-10 seconds the screen turns blue and a "Please wait..." message appears and stays there for about another 10 seconds(note: this is before the login screen), then finally it reaches the login screen, which is very slow. I click to open the password windows and it takes around 2-7 seconds to open it.

After the login, the computer is unusable for 20-40 seconds(taskbar not loaded).

BIOS Time is 4 seconds.


I already tried:

- Disable all "Startup apps".

- Defrag.

- Make space in PC (I have around 500 GB of free space currently).

- Disable "Fast boot", heard some people that it would help, but it did not.

- Scan for viruses (I have Norton).

- Check for windows updates.


PC Specs:
