Hello ltt forum, i am troubled, why does my pc take so long to boot?

It had a normal boot time of 45 seconds, but after transporting it (gently) it has a boot of 2 minutes and is complaining about invalid windows. I think i will just buy a new license and a sshd, but is there anything i can do to help it?

You can run a few scans with different software to see if there is a virus or something else that could be potentially slowing down your boot times. 

It could be because of multiple programs launching when Windows starts up. 

 

I'd use CCleaner, Malwarebytes and Avast! just to clean out the registry and excess files along with detecting any malware or virus'.

Thanks for your advice, i have tried all mentioned software (avast, malwarebytes etc.) and i have tried updating bios, it boots with a white screen after the welcome, and after a minute or so it says :windows is not genuine! (Big scary letters)

After the expected windows window it takes another minute and a half to be up and running. I have also configured msconfig and there are no boot issues. Weird
