    windows 10 boot taking hours

    Hi,

    I have a similar question to that of another post, booting windows 10 suddenly takes 2 hours.

    Redirecting

    I also can overcome this by disabling the Credential Manager service, the system will boot fine. Turning it to automatic or manual means it takes hours to boot

    I have followed all the instructions by the support engineer, till the last one. Booting in safe mode with network type option, if I do that than the system boots fine, even when enabling the Credential Manager service.

    So I would like some help in really resolving this issue, I also did a sfc /scannow, it did not report anything.

    What would be the next step?

    Kind regards,

    JR

    That's what the auto setting will do since you're over the 1333 mark it jumps to the next step which isn't listed or officially supported I assume by that ram.

    At this point though I would suggest dropping the multi one step or .5 so that we can get something stable and possibly take the heat issue out of the picture for now.

    taking many hours to boot

    Time computer takes to boot up

    Hi,

    It is possible that it takes too long to boot up after the update because the Fast Startup is disabled. To efficiently assist you, we'd like to know what troubleshooting steps you've done so far.

    Meanwhile, we suggest that you follow these steps on how to enable Fast Startup. This helps start your computer faster after shutdown:

    • Open Control Panel and go to Power Options.
    • Click on the Choose what the power buttons do link on the left side.
    • Click on the Change settings that are currently unavailable link at the top.
    • If prompted by UAC, then click on Yes.
    • Ensure that Turn on Fast Startup is checked.
    • Restart the computer.

    Let us know if you need further assistance.
