Windows 10: 2 minute hang on Windows Logo during boot (Windows 10 18362)

About a week ago my system started hanging for 2 minutes on the Windows spinning circle during boot. After the 2 min hang, it continues to boot normally and all seems well. I captured the point during boot in the Windows System Event Logs:





Nothing about the logs before or after the 2 min hang seem odd. Going back a few weeks, you can see there is no 2 min hang here:




There is no difference in the content of the logs either.


I've tried updating my display drivers, and disabling "fast boot", and the issue is still happening.


I have not installed any new software or drivers between the time when it was working fine, and the time when the 2 min hang started, but it's possible that something updated automatically.


Any suggestions about how to track down where this hang is coming from would be appreciated.

windows 10 slow boot

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.

 

Computer hangs on Windows Logo, help!

As title when loading my computer it freezes on the windows logo. I am using Windows XP SP2 OR maybe SP3, can't remember.*Laugh :laugh:
