Windows 10: Windows 10 not shutting down or sleeping after attempting to change boot drive

So I got a new ssd for my PC and did a clean install of windows on it but I made the mistake of leaving the old drive plugged in while installing windows on the new drive. Now the new drive wouldn’t boot without the old drive installed I tried to fix it by running “bcdboot C:\windows /s C:” This fixed the booting issue but then it wouldn’t shutdown. It would just go to the lockscreen so I disabled fast boot which fixed that but now I realized it won’t sleep, it will just go to the lockscreen. I’m assuming the boot fix I did was wrong and caused this and would like to know if theres a way to fix this correctly without doing another clean install since I already have everything set up how I like it again. The new drive only has one partition and is GPT and the old drive is MBR. Thanks

Windows 10 boot drive

Is Windows 10 also limited to a max of 3Tb for a boot drive?

 

Windows 10 PC, issues with sleep and slow boots

This is my fiancees machine, recently assembled out of spare parts. Previous setup did not have this issue, so its confusing me. Only real change is the ram and CPU from an i5 2400

i5 2320
Gigabyte GA-Z68A-D3-B3
Corsair GS600W PSU
XFX 6870 1GB
1TB samsung HDD.

Windows 10.


So the problems are fun and interesting:

1. The intel management Interface is showing a Code 10 "status_device_power_failure" in device manager. I've tried 9.5, 10 and 11 drivers from the intel website. same problem on all.

2. Sleep mode simply does not work - waking the system seems to work, after 2 seconds it reboots and powers up from a cold boot like it was hibernated (boots very slowly too). With hibernate disabled, it just does a very slow cold boot.

3. I may just be used to SSD's, but the system seems to boot a lot slower than i expect it should even from a cold boot.

Thoughts, suggestions, fixes etc?

 

Windows 10 PC, issues with sleep and slow boots

@Mussels Welcome to the most widespread, yet elusive to pin down problem plaguing W10 even with SSD's! (meaning it's not your HDD)

You can googlebing to your heart's content and try every wild-assed fix out there, but you'll only make a dent in your frustration level.

What has MOSTLY helped me is turning off hibernation by turning off all sleep and power saving options in Windows, and turning off fast boot by deleting hiberfil through the CMD line (as an admin).

Now it only hangs on boot or restart 1 out of 5 times. LOL, and I call that progress. I have two steps to take that look like they might be promising.

I'm going to disable all power saving features in BIOS, and try a new BIOS which was released after W10.

No one, including M$ has figured it out yet. Some of the speculative fixes you'll find come from their own forums where so-called Windows experts seem to be the most clueless of everyone.

Anyway, I listed what has helped me somewhat after 4 weeks.
