Windows 10: Slower Windows boot a few weeks after system upgrade

This isn't a massive problem as such, but I suppose it does fit in under "performance" and it's a little bit of an annoyance and I wondered if anyone has any suggestions. I did a total upgrade of my machine 3 weeks ago - moved from a 4th gen i5 to a 10th gen i7 CPU, quadrupled my RAM upto 32GB and replaced my 128GB SSD with a 1TB NVMe. I installed Windows 10 on it after setting up and I'd never seen a system so responsive - bootup was so fast that the Windows logo appeared for probably under a second before getting to the desktop, didn't even get to see one spin of the wheel indicator. Also Windows apps started before even showing a splash screen (the logo that UWP apps show), so I was really impressed! However for the past week I've noticed that boot-up is now taking longer than on my old i5 system. I see the wheel spinning under the Windows logo about 7 or 8 times and also the apps now take longer to load too once in Windows. It's not exactly slow, but it seems to have lost its sharpness that it only had for a week or 2. It can't be a driver thing, as I haven't installed any drivers since the day of setting up. The system works fine, it's just one of those things that annoys me because I noticed how fast it *can* start and work, but now it's taking longer. Any ideas? I'm aware this isn't a massive issue like I said, but I love improving start-up times and things like that Thanks

Boot time is getting slower and slower







I built my latest PC and upgraded the Windows 10 Home 32 bit to 64 bit back in December. I have 32GB RAM and have an I7 processor. My boot times continue to get slower and slower the past several months. I have googled solutions and tried many including booting into safe (no faster), using msconfig and the bootlog and verbose boot log and disabling services etc. Nothing seems to improve it. The OS is on a 256 GB OCZ SSD. I would love suggestions to speed up the boot which is about 4 minutes now. Would doing a clean install with a newly purchased Windows 10 Home or Pro solve it. That is my last choice. Thanks for reading.
Thanks,
Bill

 

Windows 10 upgrade problem, no input accepted

I really hate having to come here and ask for help, but I really am stumped. It hurts my geek pride. I have a PC with fairly modern hardware in it. It has a p8p67 pro in it. I have tried upgrading windows 10 on it twice now. Both times I have had the same result.

After windows finishes upgrading it goes to the log in/set up screen. I can't do anything. No keyboard or mouse input is accepted.

I will list some, or hopefully all, of the troubleshooting steps I have tried:

• Move keyboard and mouse to different USB ports.
• Try different keyboard or mouse.
• Restart computer, repeatedly.
• Google for related issues.
• Update Bios, because why not.
• Create boot media and revert to windows 7.

The windows 10 system restore boot media works fine with keyboard and mouse. All USB ports work in windows 7. I don't know what is wrong. I suspect that windows 10 is lacking a driver of some sort, but since the computer accepts no input I have no way of checking for which driver let alone installing it.

Please help me figure this out. If I have to revert back to windows 7 again, I am not going to get it upgraded to windows 10. Thank you in advanced.
