my computer is useless until it 'heats' for 15 minutes - how to fix this?

After that I turned on my laptop, I have to have at least 15 minutes to use it as it became so slow. I get "not responding" much. There is no virus detected. I have a Toshiba Satellite that is about 6 years old.

Don't let many programs start with Windows if you don't need it out immediately.

Many programs adds a key in the registry automatically during the installation to start with Windows.

So once Windows loaded, these programs remain running in the background without requiring you really need them.

You can always start these programs manually via start > all programs when you need it. However, it is always important that your Antivirus and your firewall is activated and starts with Windows.
Everything else is optional and it is up to you decide which programs you think are useful to start with Windows or not.

To disable some programs from starting with windows, go to start > run and type: "msconfig" (without the quotes).

Select the "Startup" tab and uncheck what you don't want to start with Windows.

You can always reactivate their then selecting them.
