Bootup Times Windows 11

I have the Creative Cloud photography plan and currently have installed Adobe Lightroom Classic, Photoshop (both the release and Beta versions), and Acrobat Reader. My PC runs on an Intel i5, 64MB RAM, and Windows 11. I use JV16 Powertools to keep the registry as clean as possible. My anti-virus is from ESET. My VPN is NordVPN. All of these are fully up-to-date. My boot drive is a Samsung 970 EVO 1TB SSD.

One of JV16's functions is the ability to see how long it takes for your PC to start and which programs (I refuse to call them apps!) are slowing down that process. Today, that time was nearly two minutes, and 93-94% of that time was due to various Adobe programs, and this is about as bad as it has ever been. Normal times as of late range from 79-90 seconds. On this PC with a reformatted c:\ drive and a fresh Windows 11 installation, this took 39 seconds.

Do these sound like normal bootup times? Is there something I can do to improve them short of upgrading my CPU to an i7 or i9?

do you have adobe's sync paused?  if not, do so.

 

make sure you update your cc app because adobe recently "streamlined" its background processes.

make sure your cc app is updated and you can stop syncing files.

My catalog is almost 10Tb, so I have never used Adobe sync. I do backup with Carbonite, which is listed in the programs that slow booting, but it represents 2-4% vs Adobe's 90%+.
