Windows 10: Boot Time with SSD and Win 10 is 90 sec.

I sort of solved problem. I physically disconnected the old drive. Boot time now 15 sec.
But now I've lost a 1 TB internal drive. I always had the SSD in front of the old drive in the boot order and I had it turned off via Devices. So with all that, the BIOS was still looking for the old drive. Not sure what to do now to retrieve the old drive.

 

So, is the delay in BIOS ?

 

Sounds like your BIOS thinks it should still boot from the 1TB drive and is hanging there until it times out and moves on to check your other drives.

In addition to the setting for boot device order (DVD's, HDD's, USB etc) my bios has a separate setting that allows me to select the order in which multiple HDD's (inc any SSD's) should be accessed when trying to boot.

 

Sounds like hdd is marked as the active boot drive ... when the ssd should be the only active drive.

 

Hi guys I just found a way to skip this in my PC the issue was on ATI driver and an option called ULPS just disabled and the boot time went from 1:45 to 15!

Open regedit
search for EnableULPS
change the value to "0"
reboot

Hope this helps

 

My boot time in Windows 10 is pretty good. I just wish MS would get rid and/or stop the black screens during the boot. Window 10 for me boots about 5 times as fast as it did in Win 7.

 

I have a dell laptop woth HD6470M AMD dual graphics with intel as my two graphic processors. This graphic card from AMD is now shown as HD7400 AMD in the device manager with Windows 10 and this has increased my boot time. I have a 10 second period until the windows screen turns up which stays on for like 5 seconds. Then I have a blank screen for approximately 75 seconds. Could any of you help me out because, a similar problem with windows 7 recognizing different graphics card change had me getting BSODs after like an year of usage which led me to replacement of the motherboard. My warranty is now void and it would be of immense help if any of you could find a solution.

I tried the boot time custom view, although it has been a week since I downloaded, it shows 0 events in that custom view.

 

Hi v4u0401 welcome to the forums, I don't know if this'll help, but it's worth a try, open an admin command prompt and give winsat formal and let it run through and reboot.

 

Hi Cliff, No use. I could put the log file if needed. Now i did some troubleshooting and am definitely sure it is my amd graphics drivers. The moment i disable my graphics drivers, it takes me 15-20 seconds for boot up which is insane. Could you guys suggest some decent drivers for HD6470M with intel hd graphics family for Win 10

 

On the boot time custom view,, right click it, open properties and place a check in the other event level boxes. save and it will show more events from event ID100 boottime.

I had created the filer to only show information, because the other filters such a critical or error, might show up but are nothing to worry about 99 9% of the time. They can show up because a reboot takes longer, or the system is applying and update, and needs to change files and registry paths, so the boot time will take longer creating an error message.

You can go to the AMD Download Drivers Page and use the auto detect:

 

Hi Cliff,

I've imported this view and I see Event 100 (warning) many times there.

XML view is below. But when I view these logs, I don't understand what is the problem or why is it showing at all.
Hope to get your help.

Thanks.

@gil the errors, critical, and informational do not mean anything is wrong during boot. It could show something where it took longer because of an update installing or you made changes to desktop, software, a driver update any how Windows make change to system files during boot and reboot causing the boot time to increase. For example I change my desktop theme(background and color) daily, and windows prefetch boot files (C:\Windows\Prefetch\ReadyBoot\ReadyBoot.etl ) which logs what needs to be done so I get to your desktop so it can boot faster, are being constantly changed, so boot time takes a few mili seconds longer.

Your boot time is 4 seconds(BootTime">41929) 41929 milli is 41.9seconds.

You have 14 programs that are on at startup(BootNumStartupApps">14)

There is absolutely nothing wrong with you boot. I have my view set to show even more stuff, because I was checking the difference between booting with fast boot on and off while using an SSD and s few critical showed up because of a cumulitive windows update that needed to be installed, but has no impact on future booting.

 

my boot time is 41 seconds... it used to be about 10 seconds.
I've disabled more Startup Apps and I've increased the ReadyBoot.etl file size to 128MB instead the 20MB default value.
In addition, I see this error:
Windows failed fast startup with error status 0xC00000D4.
Event 29, Kernel-Boot
I can't seem to resolve this.

ost of th solutions send you to Eight Forums and I believe are turning off fastboot and clearing the old prefetch files(not turning prefetch off, just clear the files and let them rebuild, of course your system will be a bit slower till they're rebuilt).

 

I think I managed to fixed the cold boot time issue, however I also used to have under 20 seconds restart boot time in Win10.
This 42 seconds means something has changed.
After a short investigation, I discovered that if I disconnect my external eSATA backup HDD, the computer boots much faster in Restart.

This is how my SSD/HDD management looks like:




Is this OK?
