Windows 10: System is slow at restarting, but fast at shutdown and startup

I have newly installed a system. Since I installed the system. The restart time keeps around 15 mins. The shutdown time is around 10s, as is the startup. This PC uses an SSD as system drive, and have 8G DDR4 RAM. I installed the upgrades. disabled the fast startup, upgraded the drives in drive manager, defragment the disk, checked the system file, checked the disk. Everything seems fine, but the restart time is same.

Slow Shutdown and Restart

hey community members, hello to you all...

it has been a week, since my laptop's taking too long to shutdown and even more to restart.. it takes approximately about 15-20 mins for shutting down and even more for restarting... the startup is fast (a minute)..

• i've tried sfc /scannow commands and did not find any problems there...
• i tried troubleshooting power options (it did set back everything to defaults, and somehow the shutdown process was fast (teeny tiny bit fast), but who wants the display to turn off after few minutes? )
• Fast Startup option is already checked

i read that enabling VerboseStatus on registry to see the process that's actually slowing down, and i found out that System Event Notification Service is taking too long ...

haven't yet checked it in safe mode...

i think System Event Notification Service is the main culprit.. it has been 15 minutes since i shutdown my laptop but it is still waiting for SENS (i am on desktop right now).. is there any other options that i could try?? or resetting back is the only option?

 

Windows 8.1 Pro Slow When Restarting But Cold Boot Is Fast

Hi starvinmarvin, this is Techhelper89. I'm here to help.

Try the following troubleshooting steps:

Step 1: Disable Fast Startup and check if it works for you.

Fast startup is a new feature in Windows to help your PC start up faster after shutting down. When turned on, Windows does this by using a hybrid shutdown (a partial hibernate) method that saves only the kernel session and device drivers (system
information) to hibernate (hiberfil.sys) file on disk instead of closing it when you shut down your PC.

Steps:

1. Press Windows + X key and click Control Panel.
2. Click on Power options.
3. Click on Choose what the power buttons do.
4. Click on Change settings that are currently unavailable. If it prompts to click on yes, then click Yes.
5. Uncheck Turn on fast startup (Recommended) under shutdown settings.
6. Click Save changes to configure the settings.

The link I have found these steps from is slow restart problem -windows 10. (This is another post on the Microsoft Community.)

Please let me know if you need any further assistance.

Thanks.

 

Abnormal shutdowns with Fast Startup enabled

Thanks Sumit - No, as you say, it's an Intel: i5 (8th gen - 8250U) with Intel UHD 620 graphics, 8 GB RAM and an SSD. I'll have a try with Dell as you suggest. These abnormal shutdowns are definitely not random - they happen on almost all attempts at a
Fast Startup shutdown, though occasionally shutdown and subsequent startup do succeed. Oddly, full hibernate works correctly.
