Windows 10: Windows 10 Restart takes 2 minutes

Windows 10 build 1709 , restart takes 2-3 minutes. Boot is instant , and shutdown is instant too , only when i try to restart it takes alot to shutdown. However , if i modifi registry to ClearPageFileAtShutdown 0 (1 originally ) and waittokillservicetimeout to 1000 from originally 50000 , it will instant reboot , but i do not want to use this setting. Where should i look ?

Windows 10 start & restart takes 25 minutes

Hi Earl,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

I understand the inconvenience caused. To better assist you, do let us know if you see the "power" button in the login screen. If so, I would suggest you to check if you are able to sign in through safe mode by following the steps
below:

• 
  Click on the power button.
  
• 
  Hold the shift key and click "restart" to enter Windows Recovery Environment.
  
• 
  After your PC restarts to the Choose an option screen, select
  Troubleshoot > Advanced options >Startup Settings > Restart.
  
• 
  After your PC restarts, you'll see a list of options. Select 4 or F4 to start your PC in Safe Mode. Or if you'll need to use the Internet, select 5 or F5 for Safe Mode with Networking.
  

If you are able to sign in through safe mode, I would suggest you to place your computer in clean boot state.

Placing your system in Clean Boot state helps in identifying if any third party applications or startup items are causing the issue. You need to follow the steps from the article mentioned below to perform a Clean Boot.

How to Perform a Clean Boot? (Applies to Windows 10)

Disclaimer: Once you are done with the troubleshooting, perform the steps in "How to reset the computer to start as usual after troubleshooting with clean boot" to reset computer as usual.

Regards.

 

Windows 10 start & restart takes 25 minutes

I have a Dell Latitude E6430. Upgraded it from Windows 7 to 10 using Media Creation Tool on 4/16/16. After logging in on start or restart it hangs up on the Welcome screen for 25 minutes.

 

After a couple of hours of crazy browsing : I disabled win 10 fast startup thing that lead to a looong shutdown too , so now both shutdown and restart were taking alot of time . After a while a found a setting called Shutdown : Clear virtual memory pagefile . Well..windows tooltip said that this option is disabled by default , mine was somehow enabled. After disabling this , restart and shutdown went to normal under 10 sec to shutdown .

 

We are glad to hear your issue has been resolved, thank you for letting us know that all is now well!
