windows 10 slow boot

scevism · Nov 20, 2015

Just done a fresh install of windows 10. Still got the same problem.
Turn pc on from cold or a restart. Hangs on the win boot logo for a minute or so then boots in to the desktop
cant work it out why its so slow to boot up? any ideas :mad:

Turn off unused devices, check bios settings, try to boot in safe mode. And of course check your hard drive. And btw this is Linux forum

To add to what @Drone said, W10 still does not seem to like power-saving features in BIOS, and doesn't seem to like the "fast start" option in Windows, which ironically makes it faster without that option.

Is this with your SSD? I see no difference between having fast boot enabled or disabled with my 120GB SSD none that's discernible anyway, have you run diagnostics on the drive, make sure it's set to AHCI in the BIOS. Was it a clean install or an upgrade? if an upgrade and the same problem is persistent perhaps a clean install and format of the drive is needed?

On my SSD all ok with the drive clean install AHCI on in bios cant work out whats wrong :confused:

Was it a clean install or upgrade? I'd try a clean install if you haven't as Win 10 keys linked to the hardware so it will still activate ok

What I described doesn't affect everyone, but is by FAR the number one W10 problem, and the most accepted (unofficially) solution.

scevism · Nov 20, 2015

I've already done a upgrade same problem thats why i did a fresh install to see if it would sort the problem out

95Viper · Nov 21, 2015

Make sure you do not have any usb sticks or cd/dvd left in that you used for anything, like the install.
Make sure your boot order in bios is correct.
Try disabling any startup software you installed for testing.

scevism · May 22, 2016

I'm still with the same problem since my 1st post. Maybe down to my old age and being very patience.
So this is what i have tried so far with no luck.
1.disabled fast boot in windows and hibernate.
2.disabled fast boot in the bios.

What else can it be? i have 3 usb connected devices razer keyboard and mouse and xbox wireless pad. :banghead:

newtekie1 · May 22, 2016

Any hard drives connected to the computer, or just the SSD?

scevism · May 22, 2016

1x ssd and 3 sata drives windows on ssd.
Also just tried removing all usb devices still no luck.

NdMk2o1o · May 22, 2016

Have you run any benches on the ssd? Performance is where it should be?

scevism · May 22, 2016

No not tried any bench test on the ssd? how would that impact my slow boot problem? windows 8 use to boot up quick as. Driving me mad this problem. :mad:

Obviously if there's a problem with the speed of it it will show up in benchmark results....

Read speed is fine, writes are a bit slow but probably what they should be although can't see the rest of the results for random read /writes

Actually write speed is a lot slower than it should be..

NdMk2o1o · May 22, 2016

Can you run it again through all tests and post a screenshot, make sure nothing else is writing to the disk

scevism · May 22, 2016

Running all tests now its going to take a long time tho only on 4k and that will take 35 mins

scevism · May 22, 2016

NdMk2o1o · May 22, 2016

No issues there from what I can tell :/ and as you said it worked fine on Windows 8.... You've tried unplugging any other devices during not to rule that out, changed sata ports, cable etc again just to rule them out... I'll do some digging around in a bit and try and come bk in with some other suggestions

How many hard drives?
Disconnect all but the boot drive

Does it boot faster?

optical drives too, loose or bad cables can cause this too
