query about speed of boot time

Hello,

Please be informed that, if there are many startup items on the desktop, it will take time to boot up to the desktop screen. It is the ideal time to boot up.

Also, suggest you to run the system maintenance troubleshooter.

Its a built-in troubleshooter to check and fix issues with system.

Refer these steps:

1. Press Windows key +X, select
Control panel.

2 . Change the view by option on the top right to Large icons.

3. Click on troubleshooting and click on the
view all option on the left panel.

4. Run the System Maintenance troubleshooter.

How to speed up Boot time WIndows 10

Hi Parth,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community. I will certainly help you with this.

I suggest you to try performing a clean boot and check the boot speed is increased then the normal start.
A clean boot helps to verify if any third party application services or startup item is causing the slow boot.

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135

Disclaimer: After you have finished the troubleshooting, refer to the section
“How to reset the computer to start as usual after troubleshooting with clean boot” to boot the system in normal startup.

Note: The above link contain steps for Windows 7/8.1 but it work as good for Windows 10 also.

You may also try to run Disk clean up to cleaning your hard disk to remove temporary files, emptying the Recycle Bin, and getting rid of system files you don't need any more:

• 
  Click the Start button, type Disk Cleanup in the search box, and then click
  Disk Cleanup in the list of results.
  
• 
  After the utility runs, you'll see how much disk space you can free up to increase the boot speed.
  
• 
  Click OK, and then click Delete Files.
  

Hope this information helps. Please post back with the results we will be glad to assist you further.

Thank you.

 

Fresh USB Windows 10 Install - Failing

I am trying to install a fresh copy (reformatted the hard disk) of windows 10 using a USB

• Created an installation media on a USB flash drive (Win 10 pro) from this page https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10
• Changed the boot order on the other PC so that it boots using USB
• Selected custom install
• Installing Windows goes through the following steps successfully: Copying Windows Files, Getting Files ready for installation, Installing features, Installing updates and before the last step (Finishing up), it restarts
• Then it goes back to the start of the installation steps

I am stuck and have read numerous posts but don't know what to do to install a fresh copy of Win 10.
