    Can large amounts of files on desktop hinder the startup time?


    Hello,my colleagues just got new computers and they large amount of files 28gb and 7gb in their desktop folders. Older computers with Win11 all of them have the Win11 seem to startup a bit slower. After the initial logon automatically starting programs, such as Teams, seem to start way slower than on the older computers.After investigating this issue, can it be that the folders having the 28gb and 7gb OneDrive-synced files are causing the delay in startup?Thanks!-Lars

    :)

    query about speed of boot time

    Hello,

    Please be informed that, if there are many startup items on the desktop, it will take time to boot up to the desktop screen. It is the ideal time to boot up.

    Also, suggest you to run the system maintenance troubleshooter.

    Its a built-in troubleshooter to check and fix issues with system.

    Refer these steps:

    1. Press Windows key +X, select
    Control panel.

    2 . Change the view by option on the top right to Large icons.

    3. Click on troubleshooting and click on the
    view all option on the left panel.

    4. Run the System Maintenance troubleshooter.

    Do let us know the status of your concern. We will be glad to assist you further.

    Thank you.
