Windows 10: Win10 Slow boot time. Help debug with Windows Performance Analyzer

My win10 has a long boot time -approx. 1 minute till boot main path ends.
I am trying to figure out what causes this long boot delay.
I also use Acronis boot manager. This is a pre boot sequence which happens before windows boot starts. The recording I refer to happened after the acronis boot.
This fits the actual time measurements I did which excluded the initial acronis loader.
I counted the time it takes for the initial ‘boot turning dots’ and it fits the Boot Main Path time which is ~52sec.
Part of this is due to autochk.exe (14 seconds) which keeps running every time.
But I don’t understand what happens between Boot-Pre_fetch to Boot-sessioninit-phase? These are 21 seconds.

Basically I’d like some guidance here as to what I should do/try

I should also note that i found that:
'autochk.exe' starts all the time. I’ve already tried to disable it using chkntfs /X C: D: E: F: (all my drives) and I see that under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager the autocheck for these drives is disabled

What happens between Boot-Pre_fetch to Boot-sessioninit-phase? Which process is causing the delay as i can't find anything in the report.

Memory usage is at 100% from boot start to winlogon? See the 2nd snapshot.

There are 'unkown items' in the Disk Usage report (e.g. 4 sec usage in the last snapshot)

I have coreI7, Asus PRIME H370 MB, Geforce 1080TI Another input is that I have 2 SSDs and 3 HDD connected to my PC as well as multiple USB devices I’ve uploaded the recorded boot here:

Thanks for any help.

Win10 SLOW BOOT debugging


Hello,
since I've installed win10 I notice a Slow cold boot (restart) compared to my old win8.1.

I'm talking of a fresh CLEAN installation, so no bloatware printer drivers or other stuff.

I'm trying to debug the issue and recorded LOGS from my clean install boot, both with:

1. Process Monitor
2. Windows Performance Recorder

If anyone could interpret them and could give me some help I will post the link.

Thanks a lot

How to use Windows Performance Toolkit to analyze slow startups

Hello,

I just installed the Microsoft Performance Toolkit for Windows 10 because I have a very slow startup and I wish to analyze it to understand which service/app/process is responsible for that. However I ma not
sure how to use it. My understand is that I have to start a trace by WPR, reboot, stop the trace, and use the analysis tool (WPA) to get trace data in a graph format.

Can anybody, please, publish step-by-step instructions to do that? I tried to use the Event Manager to troubleshoot the startup but it is not easy to understand if an error originated other errors or is originated
by another error. Not all errors have to be fixed. Sometimes, fixing an error, remove all the errors it originated. So I would like to have a look at startup to understand if some process is responsible for time delays.

Thank you in advance.

I didn't find the right solution from the internet.
