Startup will always be kinda slow with a mechanical hard drive.

If you want to speed it up the best way would be getting an SSD.

You have a mechanical hard drive. Windows will always boot slowly from a mechanical drive.

i know that mechanical hard drives are slow but what im wondering is what cause it to boot up slower then it was  before i disable  application if i  had the money i would have change it to an ssd a long time ago.

Let's go through the usual steps:
1 check for viruses/malate
2 check the health of the hard drive
3 me config - post a screen shot here, or if you are comfortable with it, unchecked things you know you don't need running. That would be the "startup" tab under msconfig

You should absolutely have an SSD, especially with other specs like that.  Without one this is the kind of behaviour you can expect, especially as time goes by and Windows mysteriously slows down more and more.  Booting, logging on, and generally usability will be massively worse on a HDD.

Format or reset Windows, you can also try defrag
I have a 5400RPM HDD. Much slower. But startup only takes 15-25 secs

defrag? also i should say that the first harddrive that came with my laptop  was bad so i had to send it to the repair center asus customer support told me to. and they replace it with new one.  this was about 3 months ago. that drive lasted for 1 year and  2 months, i bought  this laptop when it was first released

Defragging is always a good idea but in my experience it makes little if any noticeable difference.

If you're not sure how to do it, it means you've never opened the tool which means it's probably still at default settings, which means it's doing it automatically every now and then without you even realizing it.  But just search "defrag" in the start menu and then click "optimize" on the drive in question.  Not much to it

To defragment?  No, that's it.  To fix the problem?  I would recommend getting an SSD.  I'd rather use a Sandy Bridge i3 with an SSD than a modern i7 with a HDD, especially if both installs were a few years old.
