Startup Time

I can't really identify the cause of this problem so I assume it's a virus. Basically, my BIOS startup time randomly increased one day from 7 seconds to 102 seconds. Anyone have any clue why it started to randomly do this and how I could potentially identify and solve the issue? Also I already went into to task manger startup tab to try and disable any new programs but there were not any new ones. Thanks in advance!

Enable fast boot in ur BIOS settings?

and there are many other background process that start without (sort of) your consent, i just discovered today that skypehost.exe ran without letting me know plus I never even installed skype on that pc ever, so yea, if you are super paranoid than re install os

Is there anything in the Startup folder?

 

Run -> shell:startup -> Press Ok/Enter

 

 

No there is nothing new in there. There is my mobile phone application in there but it has been in there for almost a year now so I don't think that is the issue here.

I can't remember the exact file, its something like

system32 / start menu/ programs/ startup

it holds the shortcuts and scripts to run at boot, look in there for any odd files or scripts and run a virus sweep  

                     .
                   _/ V\
                  / /  /
                <<    |
                ,/    ]
              ,/      ]
            ,/        |
           /    \  \ /
          /      | | |
    ______|   __/_/| |
