The Windows Registry is the master control center for your operating system and applications it runs.  Corruption or overload registry issues can cause all sorts of pc performance problems, including poor application startup times, slow Windows start-up, extremely slow shut down, inability to resume from computer sleep and more.Cleaning, compacting, and optimizing your Windows registry can go a long way to dramatically speeding up your computer’s performance, start-up and shutdown speed.

You can try Ashampoo Win Optimizer.
Also use Windows defender to check your startup applications.
If this doesn't do, Uniblue Registry Booster 2009 might help.
