    Discord starting at startup and windows forces it into focus so I have to click back on the thing I was doing… Like 3 or 4 times. Repeat for anything else that starts at startup.

    At one time I had set a song to play through a slowly-loading media player so that I could leave and when the song played I knew my computer had loaded.

    Now on Linux, everything loads just the same but doesn’t force switch the focus.

      That’s one thing I hate on windows. Don’t switch focus for me. Or let me startup apps minimized or something. I don’t want to be typing away in something, then mid sentence it’s switched to another app that takes a little while launcher to launch

      I’ll give you the focus stealing, it’s crap and it’s never going to be solved. But you can choose startup applications. Oh, and my computer boots in no time even though I have an old install with a crapton of stuff I need to autorun. It’s not about the os

        And the PC of my brother needs like a Minute to show the login screen and then another minute for getting more than 8 fps on tge desktop. Otherwise it works fine so he won’t let me take a look at it but as far as I know he doesn’t have any startup programs, meaning that this probably just is Windows 11 being shit.

          Yeah, something is definitely wrong.

          Try running SFC /scannow in command

          Might also be that one of his USB devices is being scanned during boot. So unplugging every USB device may also help the problem.

          That or a hard drive is failing.

          You can also take a look at the Event Viewer to see what it is trying to do during boot. (most probable location: Windows Logs / System)

      if your startup takes long enough to need a song, you have too many startup programs.
