One thing to do is to turn off unnecessary services and startup programs. Once you do this, the system becomes amazingly fast. I had to recently setup up a WFH machine with just Chrome and nothing else. I ended up using Win10 (Win11 didn't support the mobo) and went through and uninstalled everything that was activated by default. I also set up autologin and fastboot. The system ends up booting from a cold start in a few seconds and can get to the desktop before the monitor is fully on and displaying something.
Be careful with disabling services. On a different machine, I disabled the Windows Store because I thought I would never use it and then later spent hours debugging why an app I downloaded from the web failed to install with a mysterious error. One thing to try is to turn off/disable/uninstall a service or program each day and log what you're doing in case you need to reverse something that breaks the next day.
