Windows 10: New Win 10 installation takes FORTY-EIGHT MINUTES TO BOOT!

I've recently started a couple of other threads due to an absurd level of Windows 10 design and implementation screw-ups, but there was nothing that could be done. So I bit the horrifically evil and murderous bullet and re-installed the latest version of 64-bit Windows 10 Pro on the only partition of my main Samsung 850 SSD.

Upon completion (which took hours and lost me approximately EIGHTY-FIVE installed applications), I installed a handful of applications: Chrome, my password application, Revo Uninstaller Pro, Classic Start & Explorer, and my favorite registry editor (Registry Workshop).

I took care to ensure that that SSD was first in the boot order, disabled Fast Boot, enabled Virtual Memory (although this machine has 16 GB, so I don't think it will be used often), ensured that the Linux shell was disabled, updated every driver or checked to ensure the latest version was installed for each device, and everything else I've seen recommended for speeding up boot times.

I've scanned for rootkits and malware, including boot viruses, and found nothing.

So why in the hell does it take FORTY-EIGHT MINUTES TO BOOT? AAARGH!!!! *Mad

Kindly, will someone help me keep myself from jumping off a high building, please? Thanks1

Win 10 boots...

I can't answer to the speed of Win-8 booting. I tried the Win-8 preview and went back to Win-7 after a month. They say that Win-8.1 is a lot better than Win-8 was.
My Win-10 TP is working well ATM.

 

Win.10 won't boot after installing Win.7

Hi,

So i installed Win.10 via the UEFI and after installing Win.7 on Legacy Mode onto a different HDD i can't boot into Win.10 (I believe can only because Win.10 was installed via UEFI)

I tried installing the BCD Software but nope. I even tried to select my HDD but say Winload.exe error

Even tried going into the USB and try repairing but the same thing happens

 

Win 10 boots...

Yes, it's called the Windows Technical Preview and you can get it here (ISO Download)

You'll have to sign up for a MS account using your email and a password.

I'm using it with a 480GB SSD as the OS drive and it ~does~ boot faster, much faster.
I also have a new Win-7 build with a pair of 120GB SSDs in RAID that takes longer to boot.
