    Startup responsiveness and how to diagnose?


    When I start my system, my C drive is maxed at 100% for about 15 minutes. Because of this I've started leaving my machine on overnight, which I'm not a fan of. I put it into sleep, but after about 15 minutes it wakes up, but that's a whole other issue.


    My CPU is a quad core i7@ 3.9Ghz

    C drive is a SSD, getting maxed at up to 54M/s


    I have an inkling of the issue, which may require a fresh install, but don't want to do that unless I have to.


    About 3 months or so ago, I installed a larger SSD in my system as the one I had dedicated to Win10 was only 60Gig, and with all the MS dev tools I was using I needed more "root" space. I installed a 150Gig SSD, and instead of reinstalling Windows I opted to use a drive move tool. but I forget which one right now, and since then it has been slow, but getting worse.


    How would I go about diagnosing this issue, being that it could be a pre-start issue, a registry issue, or (which I don't believe it is) a drive issue?


    Thank in advance, for any and ALL help Startup responsiveness and how to diagnose? :)

    Can't get GPU-Z to start with Windows 8.1 startup

    I'm not sure how to do that. Could you list the steps for a noob?

    After Windows startup no response, reboot needed if lucky

    Hi David,

    To better assist you, we would like to know the following information:

    • What troubleshooting steps have you tried so far?

    Looking forward to your response.
