Windows 10: boot takes few minutes each time with new SSD + strong computer.

So I had this problem for a while now, boot takes very long time.

I thought it was my SSD starting to die out, So I bought a new one, NVME this time Samsung 970 EVO Plus,
I cloned my old ssd to the new one, and now using the new one instead for operation system, and still the boot is slow

I'm not sure at this point what could be the cause, by slow boot I mean the circular loader that shows when windows is loading up,

download for my WPR log.

My computer has 64gb ram
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-9700K CPU @ 3.60GHz, 3600 Mhz, 8 Core(s), 8 Logical Processor(s)
Nvidia 1070 GTX
+ the new NVME ssd driver I just mentioned, why is this happening?

More than 1 minute to boot Windows 10, even with SSD

I have a full description of the problem here: More than 1 minute to boot Windows 10, even with SSD

For some reason, a few weeks ago, my Windows 10 is taking over 1 minute to boot. That is, more than 1 minute just in that initial black window with the Windows 10 logo and the little dots circling.

1. That's my current hardwarespecifiations
2. Windows boot screen stays more than 1 minute to then display the login screen
3. Initially, I had just one Windows 10 x64 installation, then I installed a new Win10 on dual boot to compare
4. After the new win10 dual boot installation, the boot time was reduced to 8 seconds (in this case the default win10 was automatically set to the new installation)
5. But changing to default win10 startup to the old win10, the time came back to 1 minute
6. Both win10 are with Fast Startup OFF
7. Safe boot doesn't change the boot time
8. The red led in front of the desktop (disk I/O) is completely OFF until the login screen is reached (so, no disk I/O during 1 minute)
9. The drivers for BIOS, RAID, Motherboard are the same for both win10 installations, so it's not a hardware or driver problem.

 

Computer boots to bios every time

I had the same issue with a Crucial MX (or BX i forget which) 256GB ssd while running on a z170 platform. Come to find out, it was an incompatibility with the motherboard that @FordGT90Concept pointed out to me as he had the same issue. I bought a new Samsung 960 evo m.2 and the issue went away.

I suggest getting a newer model SSD and reinstalling Windows and id bet that your issue will go away.

Edit: Thread necro!

 

New windows 10 installtion on New SSD - wont boot unless old SSD present

It seems you installed Windows while the both SSDs were connected. This would have caused your current problem. Maybe it is sufficient to do this:

1. Launch the Disk Manager.
2. Right-click drive C:, then mark it as "active".
3. Shut down Windows
4. Open the BIOS and tell it that the new SSD is the primary boot device.
5. Disconnect the old SSD.
6. Boot up normally.

If this does not work then you might have to do this:

1. Disconnect the old SSD.
2. Re-install Windows on the new SSD, using the Media Creation Tool.
