A compact diagnostic path (builds on ’s safe-mode suggestion) that separates likely hardware faults from Windows-level problems and gives concrete next steps.

If safe mode is fast, the problem is almost always software: corrupt shell extensions, a faulty service, or a background scan. If safe mode is slow too, suspect disk or memory hardware. Recommended checks in order:

  • Quick hardware checks: back up important data, then check the disk and memory. From an elevated command prompt run:

    chkdsk c: /r

    and boot a memory tester (eg. MemTest86) from USB for at least one full pass. Look for SMART/pending-sector warnings (many vendor tools and CrystalDiskInfo will show them). If errors appear, replace the drive before doing repairs.

  • Windows integrity and logs: run System File Checker:

    sfc /scannow

    and review Event Viewer (System log) for disk-related IDs (7, 11, 51, 55) or service/startup timeouts (7000, 7009, 7011). Those entries point to device/controller problems or services that hang at boot/shutdown.

  • Software isolation: test with a fresh local user account (rules out a corrupted profile). Use a shell-extension lister (ShellExView) to disable third-party shell handlers and context-menu extensions. Temporarily disconnect network cables and remove mapped network printers/drives—network timeouts commonly delay desktop and shutdown dialogs. Temporarily disable real-time antivirus only as a diagnostic step.

  • Last-resort checks: boot a Linux Live USB. If the Live session is responsive, hardware is likely OK and Windows or its drivers are at fault. If Live is slow, hardware replacement (HDD or RAM) is probable.

Suggested sequence: backup → MemTest → chkdsk → sfc → check Event Viewer → new user test → disable non-Microsoft shell extensions. Each step narrows the cause and avoids unnecessary hardware replacement.

some thing you can try:
Try starting in safe mode

Normally, when you start your computer, Windows loads a huge amount of data into your computer’s memory. In safe mode, however, you only have access to basic files and drivers (for example, mouse, monitor, keyboard, default system services, and no network connections). Therefore, the processor is only running at a fraction of its capacity.

If your system is significantly faster in safe mode, one or more applications or drivers may be causing the slowdown in normal mode. If you’ve recently added new software or a new device, try uninstalling it or removing the hardware to see if your computer speeds up.

you can see this
