  1. Extremely slow boot times, sometimes between 3-5 minutes. Trace files inside.


    Hi,

    So I recently built a new PC, installed a fresh Windows 10, updated to 1909 and I have extremely slow boot times. Especially on the first boot. The restarts are faster but still slow. Usually stuck on the "Restarting" and "Shutting down" a really long time. Then it is usually stuck on the spinning white circles of windows 10.

    Another interesting fact is that it seems to take a long time for Audio and Video drivers to even load. I have a 144hz monitor, but it takes sometimes up to 5 minutes, or longer, for the monitor to switch from 60hz to 144hz on boot. I have tried with two different monitors to that is not the issue itself. Also when I hover over the speaker icon in the tray, I just see "Audio service is not running" for around 4-5 minutes until it loads.

    I ran a couple of boot traces. One of them ended up with a BSOD with the message "VIDEO_SCHEDULER_INTERNAL_ERROR". I'm not sure what the reason for that is, I have never seen it before.
    ----

    Here is the first boot trace:

    Here is the boot trace with the BSOD:

    Hope anyone can help me out. Would be very appreciated.

    Very slow boot-up time (over three minutes)

    Hi,

    There was many events that was dropped during the boot trace, but there is enough data to undertake a troubleshooting.

    First, the majority of the delay happens in the Session init phase. in this phase the OS primarily load and initialize drivers.

    I have identified two suspect drivers:
    • NoMachine Hub that causes a boot delay of 12s. Windows try to reload the catalog to check the code integrity for this driver because it's a non-embedded-signed driver. So try to upgrad to the latest version of NoMachine application.

    • But the biggest delay is caused by Intel Management Engine driver ( 90 s)

    you have the version 11.7.0.1057. There is a newer version available on the Intel website Download Intel® Management Engine Consumer Driver for Intel® NUC Kit NUC7i3DN

    Update this driver and see if that help.

    Finally take another boot trace.

    Extremely Slow Boot Time (3 min)

    Hi, I recently purchased a laptop with windows 10 x64. The product specifications are these: Star Wars™ Special Edition Notebook - 15-an001na (ENERGY STAR) Product Specifications | HP® Customer Support


    It's a HP laptop. The boot up time close to 3 minutes goes like this:
    • 40 seconds: the HP logo screen with a loading circle
    • then ~2 minutes: black/empty screen with a loading circle
    • then comes the log in screen with the time and date
    • and after that 20 seconds of the Welcome screen with the loading circle

    I also mention that at least 5 minutes after that the disk is at 100%

    I tried to disable some services and tasks but it didn't make much of a difference, Glary Utilities tells me there are 171 programs, services, etc running at startup.

    I attach a list of them though I know it's huge so I don't ask for someone to go through all of them, but is there a list of what startup programs (9), scheduled tasks (69), plug ins (6), application services (40) and windows services (47) are absolutely mandatory so I can disable the rest? The numbers in brackets refer to the current amount of said services.

    Thank you for any help!

    Extremely Slow Boot Time (3 min)

    I would recommend the following actions:

    Selectively uninstall any HP bloatware you don't want or need.

    Disable all non-essential services (for a test). Here's how:

    Go to Start> Run> (type) msconfig.exe

    A new window opens. Select the Services tab:

    Now, tic the box to hide all MS services:

    Now review the non-MS services that remain.

    From here you can start to disable services and reboot periodically to see if there is any improvement.
    (You can always re-enable them if an issues arises)

    However, in the end, you may end up leaving many of them permanently disabled.

    Hope this helps,
