In my experience fresh no-bloat windows installs boot in seconds, which gets slower and slower every major soft or hardware upgrade.

Is your boot still fast?

Nice username btw.

No, it is not booting up very fast, but it is still ok as I usually don't reboot that often. I remember one severe increase in the user login duration, and this was caused by the high number of files in a temp folder which Disk Cleanup somehow did not delete.

Manually deleting those solved this issue, and over the years, I have only used the standard tools included in Windows to maintain the system. No tuning or cleaning tools that defrag the registry, download some RAM or do some other magic.
