I’ve got a solid setup with an RTX 4070 and a Ryzen 7 7700x, but I’m experiencing really slow boot times and applications like Google and Steam take over a minute to start. What could be causing this?

Idle temps look good at around 40 degrees, so overheating shouldn’t be an issue. Just make sure your RAM and SSD connections are secure; sometimes reseating them helps. You might also want to check for any hardware issues that could be dragging down performance.
Your storage setup is critical here. If you’re only using an HDD for Windows and apps, you might want to consider upgrading to an SSD for better speed. Applications and boot times can drastically improve with an SSD.
First off, you might want to check your startup programs in Task Manager. Sometimes, there are unnecessary apps that slow things down during boot. Disable anything that isn’t crucial to the system. Also, take a look at your storage situation; if you’re running Windows from an HDD, that could be a big bottleneck compared to an NVMe SSD.
Yeah, I’ve noticed that having an HDD for Windows really slows things down. Switching to an SSD made a huge difference for me!
PLATFORM INFORMATION
Definitely! I had to reseat my RAM once, and it solved some weird performance issues.
