[SOLVED] Very long Start-up time

I was wondering if just deleting them off the Desktop would still keep them on the computer somewhere. I just wanted to say a HUGE THANK YOU for helping me. I learned a lot and am so happy my computer is clean and starts up so fast!

Thank you for all that information. Some things I didn't know. I was not able to uninstall Windefend.reg or Media Creation Tool because they don't show up in my Programs list. Is it enough to just delete them from the Desktop?

I'm going to stick with Windows Defender but are there any other programs I should run on a weekly or monthly basis? Adware or Malwarebytes or any other type of scan?

[SOLVED] Very long Start-up time

I see that I still have some programs on my desktop like Revo, Malwarebytes, Windefend, FRST.exe, Media Creation tool. Do I try to uninstall them through Programs? Should I keep Media Creation Tool in case I have to reinstall Windows 10 again? # Run at 09-Nov-2022 1:16:44 PM # KpRm...

Yes, my computer starts between 60-90 seconds now! My Excel files have stayed pinned for the last 2 days so hopefully that is resolved now too. Scan result of Farbar Recovery Scan Tool (FRST) (x64) Version: 09-11-2022 01 Ran by Lillian (administrator) on DESKTOP-MNATPML (HP HP Pavilion Desktop...

I ran a Full Scan and a Quick Scan. There were no threats on the quick scan but 1 severe threat on the full scan that was automatically blocked. My shield is now green!

IT WORKED!!!!! I'm running a full scan now. Looks like it's going to take hours to complete though. It's been about 20 minutes and it's only about 10% complete (unless it goes faster near the end). Maybe I've never run this scan before since I've always had Avast?! So far it found one...

Before I do this step, will I lose anything like my programs or files?

Sorry, by results I thought you meant to post the FSS log. I tried to Refresh and Restart but I got this error message. So then I tried the next step and still not able to do a scan at all, the option doesn't even come up. This is my screen. It's what I get every time I try to do a scan...

So do you mean I should restart in Safe Mode with Networking to see if the virus shield remains green and see if I can run a full scan?

I did follow his instructions to get to safe mode but the screen didn't go all black and I don't recall it saying safe in all four corners. Instead all of the desktop icons were there but really small, same with the toolbar icons. Should I do those steps again?
