Windows 10: Windows 10 boot time problem.

Yeah that thought was slowly but surely creeping up on me.

 

From what I saw in your Disk Management. It is in fact a mess. You have 2 System Reserved partitions: I: and E:. Normally System Reserved partition is hidden (No drive letter assigned), I: is not being used because it is not marked "Active" and you also have 2 partitions marked as Active: C: and E: so my guess is your Windows is not using E: either but was booted up using the Boot Manager in C:.

There are many reasons for slow boot up.

• Invalid drivers
• One of the HD corrupted so Windows is having hard time to identify it.
• External USB devices
• System files corruption

I suggest to disconnect all HD's and external USB devices except the Windows drive and boot up to make sure that it is booting without the System Reserved partition. If it does, marked the E: partition "Inactive". Please report back what you find....

 

Well today computer booted up within 20 seconds so whatever it was must have disappeared somehow.

And about my disk management, it's quite easy to understand how it works: C: is using the system reserved in E: <-- that is my best guess because I kind of created the I: drive, like after I had done the migration from G: to C: there was left an unallocated space of 448MB and I thought that if I name it as system reserved it would fix itself somehow.

 

Well, that's good to hear even if it is a mystery why it is back. Maybe fast start-up has reactivated itself.

 

Why can't we just be happy that it's back? *Wink

 

*Thumbs Agree, it's best not to mess around if everything is working. Its just me, I don't like mysteries!

Have a great day!

But wouldn't you say that it adds to the awesomeness of the mystery if you can't understand or solve it?

 

Perhaps for you personally as your problem has resolved...however, for someone struggling with the same issue, knowing the actual solution would be great. So it would be awesome to actually know the solution to your problem.

 

Totally agree with you.

 

Well it happened again, so I had a week of gold and glory.

 

Well I'm glad you had an awesome week with it booting rapidly. There was a big update yesterday, I wonder if you are now on build ver 10586.122 and some of your settings were reset? Another mystery to solve! *Smile

 

Well the hibernate I can't enable, just gives an unexpected error has occurred (0x65b).
And fast startup is already enabled.

 

The quickest way to enable hibernation is to close the power settings window and then hit Windows+X and open Command Prompt (Admin). At the Command Prompt, type the command:
powercfg /hibernate on

 

God damn it, I think I'll have to reinstall W10.

 

I am having the same issue with my Samsung Series 7 Chronos updated to Win 10. It's taking about 1 to 2 minutes to boot up; same symptoms as described in the OP's 1st post. I was able to fix it if I go to the Samsung's SW Update and reinstall all the drivers as Administrator from the Dos command line. I think it's the AMD driver. If I uninstall the AMD Catalyst drivers from Control Panel, it boots up very fast. If I reinstall or update the AMD driver, then I have the boot up issue again.
