    Excessive boot times >2 mins Windows 10 + Apricorn Velocity DUOx2 PCIe


    Hi,

    I have issues when booting my EFI Windows 10 Pro x64 - AU 1607 - 14393.321 SSD on a Mac Pro 5.1 w Apricorn Velocity DUO x2

    Last boot time was 1:58 min while:
    - Fast Startup checked
    - Downloaded 'latest' 2006 (?) AHCI drivers for the Marvell 9230 controller chip on my Velocity DUO x2 - two SSD PCIe extension card:

    NOTE I have a PC GTX-680-FTW-4GB flashed with Mac EFI rom. All 4 output ports are performing a it should be.

    Thanks in advance for any directions or solutions to address my absurd boot times of > ~2 min.

    Cheers

  2. Win 10 keeps locking Apricorn Padlock DT

    Same problem. I am more towards to 2 min end of the spectrum. I also don't have Win 10 PRO so presumably that's why I can't find the settings mentioned by the OP? Any other thoughts from anyone? Will an Apricorn driver eventually fix this?

    Did some googling on slow boot and was directed to and found a hardware error in Reliability Monitor:

    Hi,
    Try rebuilding the Performance Counters:
    - Go to Windows>Performance>WinSAT folder and delete all XML files.
    - Open an elevated Command Prompt and type:
    Lodctr /r
    winsat formal -clean
    reboot and see.
    If this did not help:
    - Try Troubleshooter : Control Panel>Troubleshooting>View All> Search and Indexing + Windows Store Apps
    Reboot and see
    Further:
    - run WSReset
    If that does not help, you might want to uninstall all Store Apps except Store App itself. See here : Apps - Uninstall in Windows 10 - Windows 10 Forums
    Re-run WSreset
    If that does help, you have to look for errors in Event Viewer
    Last but not least, probably a "In-Place Upgrade" will be your best option to go.

    Hi Aldalwar,

    Thanks for your prompt reply, appreciated. I'm confused here a bit. Searching google for Problem Event Name: LiveKernelEventCode: 117 I get many links to a hardware (video) issue rather than software. Would you mind explaining me a bit more why you suggested your tweaks, just for me to interpretate correctly for me to teach some really new troubleshooting solutions. TIA

    Cheers

    Yes, Graphic Drives can cause problems , not the Drivers itself but the Install Routines.
    It is easy to uninstall them and reinstall and see.
    This things I told above are "Basic" procedures, they are not doing any Arm to you PC, at the worst Scenario the PC stays as it was.
    Although, the procedures can have a very big impact in performance.
    I recommend you to beginn with "LODCTR /R" and "WINSAT".
    To do that, open FIle Explorer, browser to c:\windows\performance\winsat and delete all XML files that are present in that Directory.
    Next, click right on Start and open "Command Prompt (Admin)
    Next on the window that was opened type : Lodctr /r press Enter.
    If there is a message saying it was "...Sucessful.." then proceed next, otherwise repeat the Lodctr /r
    Next, on the same window type: Winsat formal -clean and press enter. It will take some minutes. After WIndows has finished and the Prompt is back, restart PC.

    Well, I suggest you to uninstall and re-install Sound Drivers and Graphic Drivers.
    Also, look in Event Viewer for errors, specially
    - Event ID 121 for Drivers failing to Install
    - Event ID 1016 for Permissions errors.
    This Events could slow down very much the Booting, specially ID 1016.

    Another Option is to go directly for an "In-Place Upgrade". That will re-install Windows, letting your Files, Documents, Programs and everything else intact.
    That would be a good option, before you lose a huge time trying to fix things.
    Have a look in this tutorial how to Repair Windows :
    Repair Install Windows 10 with an In-place Upgrade - Windows 10 Forums[2]=Installation%20and%20Setup

    EDIT : For Testing purposes, to see if is a Software that is causing that long Boot time, try a "Clean Boot".
    Here how to:
    Right Click on Start > Run and type there MSCONFIG, press enter.
    In the window that will pop-up , check "Diagnostic Startup", press apply. Now see if boot is much quicker.
    Another possibility, in the same MSCONFIG windows is to go to "Services" Tab, check "Hide all Microsft services" and the "Disable all", after press "Apply", reboot and see. Do not forget to put this settings back to its original settings.
    Another thing you could try is disabling all "Startup" Software. Press Ctrl+Alt+Del > Task Manager >Start-up and disable all items there. Reboot and see. After testing, do not forget to restore this settings.

    Good morning Adalwar,

    Thanks so much for sticking around and spending time and effort helping me fixing this issue, appreciated!

    Later today I'll perform your suggested tweaks and will report back like my last post.

    Checked for the ID# you recommended. No messages (non off all that could be selected) for any error of these ID's.

    I halted on these recommendations, because searching the web some more about the ID 117 error, being the graphics hard- and or software. Your first suggestion was all it took...

    Before doing the "In-Place Upgrade" I again performed the NVdia (Graphic- + HDMI Sound drivers) uninstall, but now with the Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) V17.0.2.1.

    !!! Windows boot time = 15 sec

    Re-installed the NVidia driver (373.06) package WITHOUT HDMI and Geforce Experiense.

    ??? Windows boot time = 165 sec

    So obviously, although I uninstalled the NVidia driver package with "Uninstall Program" in Windows option and now gave the DDU Uninstaller a shot, the NVidia drivers are not playing well with my EFI Windows 10 and GTX-680 flashed with EFI. Wow, strange that just video drivers can slow down a boot sequence that mu, the difference is ~150 sec...*Eek

    Well, I think this troubleshoot has come to an end. Unless you would recommend me to trial-and-error something els.

    Many thanks for your help!!!

    Cheers

    I am happy to have helped you.
    Cheers.

    EDIT: I was not sure of what DDU was, so I was googling to see what it is.
    The Best way to uninstall a Software is surely with its Uninstall program. But if someone really want to "kill" all Software the path is to go to Device Driver, and uninstall it from there, checking the box "Delete Software for Device...".

    Hi,
    I also did not like 373.06, so I went back to 372.90 and seems to be OK.
    Try to disable NVIDIA Backend in Start-Up pane from Task Manager (Ctrl+Alt+Del > Start-Up)
