Windows 10: Cold Boot Hangup - Froze before Windows 10 Boot Screen

Good morning all! *Cool
Posting here since it appears to be a hardware issue.
I perform a full shutdown every night.
This morning on startup I got the (hardware?) Boot Screen and it froze there not moving to the Windows Boot Screen. I tried again from a full shutdown and all worked properly. [FWIW: Except failure to connect to Xfinity Comcast email which I'm treating as a coincidence for now.]

I did a quick check of my C: Primary SSD knowing it was unlikely the problem. All was okay. And I poked around the Event Viewer and didn't find anything unusual, but may not have checked the right location.
For a sanity check I restored the system to 2 days prior.

This desktop is getting old, though 2 of my drives have been replaced as was the RAM. All updates are done ASAP when they are offered and manual restore points done daily shortly after startup.

I'm looking for advice on what tests I should run to try to identify a possible target.

Thanks in advance to all who read this and to those who offer advice! *Smile
Best,

:)

 

Vista 32bit crash on cold boot

my vista 32 crashes on cold boot during the booting screen [the one with the little bits of dots that go in a loop]

it only does it on cold boots, never ever ever warm boots, and every single cold boot, is there a place in the registry where actions are performed "only on cold boots"?

 

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.

Looks to be similar to this: https://www.back2gaming.com/focus-story/ssd-optimization-for-windows-10-windows-8-and-8-1/


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.
