After waiting 3 minutes for my Acer Nitro to turn on, the icons on the taskbar take time to load (10 - 15 seconds). Why? Also, why sometimes when I open apps (Opera GX - Task Manager), they will stutter when opened. I know all of that might be due to the Toshiba HDD, but, is there any way I can speed up the boot time at least? (Takes between 1' 10'' and 3')
