Short summary and focused next steps for (and related posts): the pattern — very slow boot and long first-run app starts, then faster on repeat — points more at hardware/firmware, storage-controller drivers, or power-management behavior than to ordinary software clutter. and were right to suspect non-OS causes; below are concrete, ordered checks that isolate the culprit quickly.

Try these in order:

  1. Read drive health via SMART (quick, non-destructive). A simple GUI is CrystalDiskInfo.
  2. Test RAM with a dedicated tool — run a full pass of MemTest86. Memory errors can produce very odd slowdowns.
  3. Boot a Linux Live USB and try the same app launches; if slowness remains outside Windows the issue is almost certainly hardware/firmware.
  4. Check motherboard BIOS settings and storage controller mode (IDE vs AHCI) and install the correct chipset/storage drivers from the board maker. Also try a different SATA cable and port.
  5. Temporarily set the OS power plan to High Performance and disable aggressive disk sleep/link power features to rule out spin-up delays.

Use small diagnostics while reproducing the symptom: open Resource Monitor/Task Manager during the first-run and watch Disk Queue Length and active process I/O. For deeper tracing, the Windows Performance Toolkit gives precise traces for boot/first-run stalls (WPT docs). If the drive tests OK and RAM is clean, update BIOS/chipset drivers or try a different drive (even a USB-stick live boot or spare HDD/SSD) to confirm.

For : online-game lag after a reinstall often comes from missing or wrong network/NIC drivers, QoS/firewall settings, or router issues — test with a wired connection and run simple ping/traceroute tests before changing game settings.

First of all you should clean your pc i mean to clean up your hardwares it will boost up your pc 10 to 30%.
then after you should run clean up wizard for respective drives and later defragmantor.
Let the pc run in cool place.

Thanks for the reply. i have contacted the service engineer and he tried to foramt the PC after deleting all the partition. still it took long time. so suspected that there might be some virus in partition or some bad sectors. so, i have sent the had disk to manufacturer for checking it up. hope it works.........

when doing a full format and clean install of windows then youre pc should operate a factory/manufacturers standard all viruses should be removed unless you didnt do a clean install youre pc should've worked indeed you did a clean install then the problem lies in another place- hardware related.
good luck though
