Windows 10: Slow boot time (1m44s) with Windows 10 and SSD

Hello,

I did a bunch of stuff in BIOS trying to speed things up from 30 seconds boot and now I have an even slower one.




Any ideas?

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.

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.

Windows could be booting up slow if there is more application to startup when Windows boot for the first time, below are few of the steps you can try.



Method 1:

1. Try to
   boot your computer into Safe Mode and check if it still take time.
   
2. If the system boots fine then it’s the third party service or application that is causing the slow boot issue.
   
3. You can try to perform
   Clean Boot and detect which application or service is causing this issue.
   
4. On the article above search for the topic How to determine what is causing the problem after you do a clean boot

To keep you informed the last topic contacts
Reset your PC, I suggest you not to reset your PC, as resetting your PC will revert the system back to previous OS that you upgraded from and you will lose Application installed on the system.
