  1. Windows 10 on NVME boots quickly, but programs load slowly. Any fix without re-installing?


    Here's the basic configuration: ASUS x470-F Gaming, newest chipset drivers, R7 3700x with an ADATA 500GB NVME boot drive. Windows is updated to the latest release (1909 at least, but it's been happening for a couple of months) and I don't remember this happening before 1903.

    Windows boots nice and fast (20 seconds or so), and all boot-time programs load up nice and fast as well. However, after the initial boot - if I try to run a program that's on the C: drive, nothing happens for about 10 seconds (checking processes shows that the programs are not loading and then stalling) and then once ??? is done happening, they load as fast as they should.

    It's that ??? in the time between clicking on the icon and the program loading that I'm confused about. It's not pegging CPU to 100%, and it's not pegging HD activity either. It's just ....waiting.... and then BOOM the program loads like it should.

    Are there some specific steps I can take to narrow down the issue? Will Safe Mode unload enough drivers to make an effective test? How about killing all of my Startup programs to see if one is having an effect?

    If anyone here has had the same issue and was able to solve it without a clean install, I'd love to hear your story! Thanks in advance for any advice Windows 10 on NVME boots quickly, but programs load slowly. Any fix without re-installing? :)

  2. Windows 10 installer don't detect NVMe drive

    I have 2 drives:

    • disk1 (SATA SSD, with Ubuntu 16.04)
      • partition1 (sda1: flag /boot)
      • partition2 (sda2: flag /home, encrypted by LUKS)
    • disk2 (NVMe SSD)

    So, the goal is to install Windows 10 on disk2 and boot it from GRUB (which is on sda1).

    What is the problem ?

    In disk-choose step, disk2 is missing. However Ubuntu 14.04 installer "see" this disk, so I assume that is software issue, rather than my hardware.

    What I tried to solve this problem ?

    • loaded Samsung NVMe drivers from this thread
    • patched Windows image using DISM tool by adding 2 updates. I followed this guide
    • tried to run Windows 10 installed on USB stick to install it

    All of them failed.

    Please help me to solve this issue.

  3. Windows 10 USB boot

    Hi there, am not a windows 10 expert. I have a pc in the bedroom on windows 10, I messed up the bootloader trying to fix the xp on that system.

    System wont boot, trying to repair via win 10 usb installer.

    Downloaded the media creation tool to install windows 10 installer on usb stick. Not compatible with a host of usb sticks I have. Tried the usb sticks that others use, but I think they use rufus; as the media creation tool by win 10 does not detect the usb stick.

    So quick question, the win10 machine i am trying to repair the bootloader is a win7 upgraded to win10.
    If i were to use the usb win10 installer to "repair installation" does the version of the iso downloaded via the media creation tool matter?

    There is three options:
    Windows 10
    Windows 10 Home
    Windows 10 N

    Also is there a step by step instead of using rufus as I want to try an alternative method of creating a usb win 10 installer. Preferably with more compatibility.

    System is a asus sabertooth 990 (r2?) with AMD phenom X 6.

    Also is there any other software I can load onto the usb that can repair the bootloader easily?
    That would be the ideal alternative. Thanks

    windows 10 slow boot

    I was having a slow boot issue on my Windows 7 install a little while back. It would take about 30 - 40 extra seconds to boot up for whatever reason.

    I would try following these steps, while this didn't solve my issue, it did increase Read/Write to where it should be.

    In the end, I had to reinstall my Windows 7 entirely to fix the booting issue. It was taking around 35 seconds to boot, and after the fresh install it takes about 7 seconds to boot.
