Windows 10: Slow cold boots up to 83063 ms with new PC on Windows 10

I have a fairly new PC about 5 month old and I got really slow cold boots boots after the pc was switched off for a while. I already tried a clean reboot, and deactivated everything in the autostart tab of the taskmanager that isn't coming from windows itself, I ran Malwarebytes to check for malware and nothing came up, I did a system check with sfc /scannow, started using an offline profile instead of a microsoft account but nothing really helped.


The error message from the event viewer looks as follows:

The point OtherLogonInitActivityDuration is taking up a lot of the boot time with 59672 ms.


My specs are:

• Fractal Meshify C Dark

• be quiet! Pure Rock

windows 10 slow boot

To add to what @Drone said, W10 still does not seem to like power-saving features in BIOS, and doesn't seem to like the "fast start" option in Windows, which ironically makes it faster without that option.

 

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.
