Dell Latitude E6220 Laptop boot time too long - CountFoxx - 09-16-2025
My Dell Latitude E6220 Laptop takes too long to boot up—3.15 minutes, which I think is too long. I unchecked some and then all the applications from 'Session and Startup, ' but there is no difference in boot time, whatsoever. I have no third-party software installed.
Any helpful suggestions or remedies, please

First port of call for checking what's going on during the boot time is this post.

As far as I can tell, the Dell Latitude E6220 Laptop dates back to 2011 and will have been expected to run Vista or 7.
Does it perform adequately when booted?

When I had Windows 10 Pro 64-bit installed, the boot time was much faster - about 1.30 mins. However, when I used Microsoft Edge, it used lots of memory, 80-90, the hard disk was always running 100%, and sometimes it froze. It was basically the same with whatever browser I'd used.

How many times a day do you boot the machine ?
What did following the steps in the linked post tell you about the boot process on your set up ?

I boot 2-3 times a day.
I didn't understand the link post. I thought it was just random information to read - which didn't make any sense to me.
RE: Dell Latitude E6220 Laptop boot time too long - stevef - 09-18-2025
The link provided contains instructions on how to analyze what is happening during your boot. It suggests some ways to reduce the overall time and describes possible pitfalls in attempting to do that. Can you explain which bits don't make sense so that we can guide you ?

The codes don't work when I enter any of them into the Terminal, including:
sudo systemctl stop bluetooth.service
sudo systemctl disable bluetooth.service
RE: Dell Latitude E6220 Laptop boot time too long - stevef - 09-19-2025
Can you clarify what you mean by 'the codes don't work' ?
How much time does loading bluetooth contribute to the overall boot time ?
