Windows 10: win 10 very slow load time when cold

hi all I am new to this forum, and I would like to ask for help, I am running win 10 had my ups and downs with it but it runs good, now I have a problem that when I turn off windows at nigh,t and restart in the morning, it takes about 15 to 20 mins to show the desktop its a blank screen with no cursor, but after it boots up I can restart without any problem at all, all my drivers are up to date, I have a new hard drive new graphics card, so any help would be appreciated, I have a desktop pc, thank you

:)

 

Ctrl Alt Delete, repeat often - annoying

While Win 10 installed just fine and all my apps seem happy, my internet access has tanked. Whether Edge, Explorer, even Firefox, all internet browsers have become clunky, slow to load, hang. I'm hitting Ctrl/Alt/Delete several times a day to access Task
Manager because the browsers are unresponsive. I even have to run a management app and cold boot, again, several times a day. Wasn't like this pre-Win 10. Advice?

Try resetting the BIOS:

Hello, have you tried turning off fast startup?

 

thank you, i will try that,jb

 

hi dalchina, tried turning off fast startup, that did not work, any more ideas, thanks john

 

Check you have no other disks connected having an active partition (use MiniTool Partition Wizard for this). Also, install Autoruns to check what is loading at start up and disable the bloatware you don't need. I would also run sfc /scannow from an admin command prompt.

 

Also do a basic disk check before running SFC /SCANNOW

From an admin command prompt
[Windows key + X, click command prompt (admin)]
chkdsk C: /F
Your PC will need to restart.
Make sure the result is clear or fixed- else do not proceed.
Post back the result, which you can get after a restart as follows:

Also check your page file settings haven't mysteriously changed- this has happened to a couple of people.

Please post a screenshot of Disk Management- we would like to see that all Windows related partitions are on your system drive.

 

If you turn off completely the PC from Power Source, it could be the first signs that the Motherboard is going bad.

Ok that's good.. so continue with sfc /scannow from an elevated (admin) command prompt as suggested above.

These are just basic checks.

Try this:
Open an Elevated Command Prompt and type : LODCTR /R, Press Enter and reboot and see.

 

I would guess from your first report your PC may be having difficulty recognising your disk initially. (Black screen with white cursor - typical if no disk found).

That said, slow booting was a bug/problem for some quite a while back.
