so i have this here laptop (Dell E6420 with a 240G SSD), and lately over the past few weeks i've noticed that when i boot it up at home, it's EASILY 80sec before i get a usable desktop and even then most operations are very laggy. when i get to the office and boot up, it's almost always up and running with no lag within 35sec.
in both cases, i use an AC adapter (different ones, though). at home, i use WiFi, and at the office i plug in a network cable so that i get better access to our file server.
does anyone have any ideas why it would ALWAYS be so slow at home, and always so much better at work? time of day (at home) doesn't seem to make any difference, and swapping AC adapters had no effect, and plugging in a network cable (or even turning off WiFi) at home had nearly no effect.
i'm using BootRacer to get my times, and it's atrocious. is there some program i can use to do a deeper dive into the booting process?
