Windows 10: Errors occurring 10-15 minutes after boot

Hello,Recently updated to Windows 11 and have been experiencing system freezes after 10-15 minutes runtime. I have alreadyerformed a clean install of Windows 11Disabled suspected devices one-at-a-time via Device Manager.The only temporary fix is to run a DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /Restorehealth, which only buys me about 24 hours of normal operations.System specs are included below:System Information report written at: 04/22/25 14:19:44 System Name: DAN-MAINPC [System Summary] Item Value OS Name Microsoft Windows 11 Pro Version 10.0.26100 Build 26100 Other OS Description Not Available

Windows 10 takes 20 minutes to boot

I have a three-year-old MSI laptop running Windows 10. Recently, it has taken forever to boot. Initially, the slow down was a "mere" 2-3 minutes, but now it's about 20 minutes to go from POST to the Windows 10 login.

I found this answer in my search:

Redirecting. Unfortunately, it didn't help. Here is everything I've tried:

• Disable fast book
  Ran SFC scan - no errors found
  Cleared up space on my booting drive
  "Clean boot" - disable all the startup apps (as described on the linked page)
  Ram test using mdsched.exe - no errors found
  Set the PC to best performance (text looks quite ugly now)
  

The last solution I can find is to reset Windows 10. I'd rather avoid that if I can. Any final suggestions?

 

Network drivers take a long time (15+ minutes) to install

I'm running Windows 10 Pro 20H1 and I have a problem.

Any network driver that is listed under Network adaptors in Device Manager takes a very long time to get installed. This includes the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility driver, TAP-Windows Adaptor V9, and ... most importantly ... various Hyper-V network drivers,
i.e. Virtual Switch, Virtual Extension, Virtual Adaptor, etc.

Examples:

1. If I grab a copy of tap-windows-9.21.2.exe and run it, the installation takes 15+ minutes, and all this time is spent waiting for Windows to configure the driver class. During this time, tap-windows-9.21.2.exe appears stuck.
   
2. If ask Device Manager's Add Hardware Wizard to install an arbitrary Network Adaptor, even Microsoft Loopback Adaptor, again, the installation takes 15+ minutes, during which the Add Hardware Wizard appears stuck.
3. If Hyper-V Manager attempts to configure a virtual adaptor, switch, extension, etc., again, the installation of the virtual device's driver takes 15+ minutes.

During this 15+ minutes, the driver appears in Device Manager with a yellow icon. The Properties window reads:

Windows is still setting up the class configuration for this device. (Code 56)

Perhaps the most obvious workaround is to suck it up and with the 15+ minutes. Sadly, no. While I might have had the patience to wait 15+ minutes, some apps, like Hyper-V Manager don't. They bail with an error message.

Steps that I have followed to troubleshoot this issue:

• Running various Windows and Microsoft Support troubleshooters
• Resetting the network configuration, both via Setting and via netcfg -d
• Uninstalling all apps that install a network adaptor and starting over from zero
• Updating Windows
