Windows 10: Windows 10 Fast Boot issues since recent update

Hi,


Recently I've updated my PC to the latest available cumulative Windows 10 version, which has caused an issue where my PC can no longer boot using the fast startup option, and will instead idle at the final step in the boot phase, showing the MSI splash logo and not booting, the simple fix seems to be disabling fast startup, as it's the fault causer.


However, since maybe late last year, fast startup has worked perfectly fine, and it's kind of annoying i'm having to switch it off with the recent update.


The PC has no hardware or software issues whatsoever, it runs as expected, and before this, had no other issues with the operating system either. BIOS settings have nothing daft enabled, boot order is perfectly fine.


I will list my system specs below, and also clarify that this used to happen to this machine, but stopped happening late last year. (With an update(And when i decided to test fast startup again))


Intel i7 7700k - Stock core clock for the sake of testing it truly wasn't a hardware issue - But usually ran at 4.8Ghz

32gb - Corsair Vengeance DRAM - 2133mhz

MSI z270 Gaming M7

Samsung 960 EVO 1tb (Boot Storage) (Has an up-to-date driver)

nVidia GTX1080 MSI Gaming X

EVGA Gold rated 850w Supernova PSU


Any insight would be appreciated, and if people are also facing the same issue, it would be good to know whether it's a more widespread issue.


Cheers, Tom

New install Windows 10 (issue solved)

It's good that you're not experiencing any issues. Unfortunately many folks are, a quick Google search will show the same info im offering the OP.

Heres a couple examples:

It's basically what I mentioned above, small issues here and there ,but nothing to end your day.. for the most part.

I know it's anecdotal, but for my experience 95% of the time it's perfectly fine. The issues I've run into wouldn't be enough for me to roll back , but they would be enough (had I not installed it yet) ,to avoid it for another couple weeks which is why I'm suggesting it to the OP

• Installation problems with the Fall Creators Update
• Microsoft Edge problems with the Fall Creators Update

keep in mind, as of recently, the FCU is installed on 5% of devices roughly.....

 

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.

Looks to be similar to this: https://www.back2gaming.com/focus-story/ssd-optimization-for-windows-10-windows-8-and-8-1/


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.

 

Windows 10 Anniversary Update Issues

i cant say for sure what might be causing problems for those who are experiencing issues, but I figured it couldnt hurt to point this out to those who might not be aware of it, it is ONLY effecting Insider program members. as far as M$ has announced.
