Windows 10: Problems with slow boot, startup repair and other options appear broken

Greetings,I've been having problems with a Lenovo L340-15IRH I7-9750H, 32GB single channel RAM running W10. Although windows is installed on an M.2 SSD 256 GB, about half free, it still takes at least 2-3 minutes to boot. Shutting down and normal operation is fine. Although it also has an HDD, that is not the problem the problem persists even with the HDD physically removed.So far, this sounds like a pretty common issue, however I can't find a way to fix or at least improve the issue in any way. I've tried not in order:Updating BIOS and drivers, tried both Lenovo and generic ones the

laptop doesnt boot automatically

This is what happened.

1. Did a repair install and later disabled hibertnate in CMD.
2. Enabled legacy option ROM in BIOS.
3. After a few times startup ( i used the system in such mode for 5 days), changed boot option back to default.
4. Vola!! It boots automatically to win10 without any keypress. Tested it with many starts to confirm the same.
5. Re-enabled hibernate option using CMD and later selected Fast Startup.
6. System booted normally, without the need for any keypress.

I do not know exactly whether such steps resolved the problem or what else happened, hence cannot suggest above steps.

Many thanks to all members who helped to troubleshoot problems.

 

Windows 10 stuck on Startup repair when booting

Hi,

As per the description I understand your concern about Windows 10 Startup repair, we will help you with this issue.
I would suggest you to run Startup repair from Advance boot option. It may ask you to insert the Installation DVD/USB while doing startup repair. You have to create an installation media for that. You may download an ISO from
the below link:

  Press and holdShift key
  and click onRestart in Power icon.

  Click onTroubleshoot.

"Preparing Automatic Repair" Screen Boot Problem

Hi Jard,



Thank you for posting on Microsoft Community. We regret the inconvenience caused.



I suggest you to perform startup repair using a Windows 10 installation disk by following the steps below and check if the issue is resolved.



Startup Repair is a Windows Recovery tool that can fix certain system problems that might prevent Windows from starting. Startup Repair scans your computer for the problem, and then tries to fix it so your computer can
start correctly.



Startup Repair is one of the recovery tools in the System Recovery Options menu. This set of tools is located on your computer’s hard disk, and on the Windows Installation disc.



If you are on Windows 10, I suggest you to repair your computer by creating a Windows 10 Bootable media (i.e. USB or DVD) using

Media Creation Tool. Once you're ready with Bootable Media, follow the below mentioned steps.

• Insert the Windows installation disc in the disc drive or connect USB media and then start the computer.
• Press a key when the message Press any key to boot from CD or DVD appears.
  
  If your PC does not detect the media automatically
  • During the restart process, read the screen for any instructions that explain how to interrupt normal startup and enter the basic input/output system (BIOS) setup utility. Most PCs use the F2, F10, ESC, or DEL key to begin the BIOS Setup.
  • Look for a tab in the BIOS Setup Utility that is labeled Boot Order,
    Boot Options, or Boot. Following the directions on the screen, use the arrow keys to go to the
    Boot Order, then press Enter.
    
  • Locate the CD, DVD, or USB flash drive (this might be called Removable Device) in the Boot list. Following the directions on the screen, use the arrow keys to move the drive up so that it appears first in the Boot list. Press
    Enter. The boot order sequence is now changed to boot from the CD, DVD, or USB flash drive.
  • Press F10 to save your changes and to exit the BIOS Setup Utility. Select
    Yes in the confirmation window. The PC will
    restart. Allow the PC to restart normally. The scan will take a few minutes and remove any malware that may be infecting your computer.
• Select a language, a time, a currency, a keyboard or another input method, and then click
  Next.
• Click Repair your computer.
• Click the operating system that you want to repair and then click
  Next.
• On the Choose an option screen, select
  Troubleshoot. Select Advanced options from the window and click on
  Startup repair option.
