Windows 10: Windows 10 extremely long boot time, need help analyzing WPA trace

Hello,

Just updated my Acer Aspire E17 laptop to windows 10 and it takes ages to boot, almost 5 minutes until it's usable. It was slow before on Win 8.1 but not this slow. Windows is installed on an HDD, Win10 version 1901(Build 18363.592).

Quick specs: CPU i5-5200U, Nvidia GeForce 820M, 12GB DDR3 RAM, 1TB HDD.

I ran Windows Performance Recorder with Boot as Performance Scenario but I need help anaylzing it.

Appreciate any help and advice,

Thanks.

You could take a boot trace and see what it shows: Here is some info I've collected on doing this:

Good info here: How to collect a good boot trace on Windows 10 or Windows Server 2016 using WPRUI

See here for some hints on how to use the data: Analyzing a Slow Boot with Windows Performance Recorder & Analyzer

Hi,

I think that the issue is caused by the "Generic HDD SCSI Disk Device" driver





you have 8 disk drive attached to your computer:

1. Samsung SSD 860 EVO 500GB
2. Samsung SSD 850 EVO 250GB
3. ST4000DM004-2CV104
4. TOSHIBA DT01ACA200
5. WDC WD20EARX-008FB0
6. Generic HDD SCSI Disk Device
7. Seagate BUP BK SCSI Disk Device
8. Kingston DT Elite G2 USB Device

I would suggest you uninstall the Generic driver from the device manager;

• Open device manager and display the hidden devices;
• Generic "HDD SCSI Disk Device" under disk driver and uninstall it.
