Windows 10: Windows 10 Boot times

Hello :

My first time posting here so i dont know quite well the procedings.


So my PC that is about 4 years old runs quite well, but the problem is when i boot it, i spend like 4 minutes on a black screen before the lock screen but when i log into my account is much faster.


I already tried many things including formating, defragging, stoping services from starting at boot like spotify, steam etc...


I tried windows 8.1 since i got a license from a old pc and this dosen´t happen, but after lock screen they run about the same speed even when i log into account it takes about the same time to get to the desktop.


Also i tried updating graphics card drivers, and disabling fast startup since some people said that would make it faster and that maked it a little bit faster.


My Laptop specs:


Toshiba L50-C-1RP


CPU: Intel i7 5500U


GPU: Nvidia Geforce 930M


Storage : 1tb hard drive


RAM : 8gb DDR3


Thank you :

:)

 

Is it time for Windows 10 already?

Here's a good step by step guide on doing a fresh install.

Windows 10 USB boot

Hi there, am not a windows 10 expert. I have a pc in the bedroom on windows 10, I messed up the bootloader trying to fix the xp on that system.

System wont boot, trying to repair via win 10 usb installer.

Downloaded the media creation tool to install windows 10 installer on usb stick. Not compatible with a host of usb sticks I have. Tried the usb sticks that others use, but I think they use rufus; as the media creation tool by win 10 does not detect the usb stick.

So quick question, the win10 machine i am trying to repair the bootloader is a win7 upgraded to win10.
If i were to use the usb win10 installer to "repair installation" does the version of the iso downloaded via the media creation tool matter?

There is three options:
Windows 10
Windows 10 Home
Windows 10 N

Also is there a step by step instead of using rufus as I want to try an alternative method of creating a usb win 10 installer. Preferably with more compatibility.

System is a asus sabertooth 990 (r2?) with AMD phenom X 6.

Also is there any other software I can load onto the usb that can repair the bootloader easily?
That would be the ideal alternative. Thanks

 

windows 10 slow boot

I was having a slow boot issue on my Windows 7 install a little while back. It would take about 30 - 40 extra seconds to boot up for whatever reason.

I would try following these steps, while this didn't solve my issue, it did increase Read/Write to where it should be.

In the end, I had to reinstall my Windows 7 entirely to fix the booting issue. It was taking around 35 seconds to boot, and after the fresh install it takes about 7 seconds to boot.
