Windows 10: Windows 10: Slow boot time on SSD 6-mins OS loading screen

Yes, since i had the problem with the MBR/BIOS configuration and still having it with the GPT/UEFI configuration, which is just supposed to be supporting more partitions, higher capacity drives and advanced security options.

Oh well, i'm running out of ideas here.

 

Could it be due to usage of NVMe M.2 storage? perhaps this issue is not on SATA controllers?

 

Unless you disable it in the BIOS, it shows up by default on many motherboards. I've seen it in the past 5 years on boards from Gigabyte, Asus, MSI and Asrock.
HTH,

Hi ArtsArts, two things to test:

- Change your boot loader from Grub to BCD (Windows OS loader) temporarily. If this solves your problem, simply add an entry for Ubuntu into BCD boot menu.

- Restart from Windows, not from Ubuntu. If this boot time is normal, then you can suspect Ubuntu - it probably keeps some filesystems open, which is evaluated as "dirty shutdown" by Windows and repair actions follow (log replaying etc).

 

hmm going for something i found few months ago and ditched.
Windows Event Viewer is displaying critical errors for code 101 (boot time degradation) for "Devic" file name and "C:\Devic" path.

Not sure why its truncated as obviously none has such a path, but seems like according to Windows 10, this is the problematic factor.. and no.. it cant be a peripheral USB as i disconnected everything and it still takes time to load.
