    Windows 10 slow restart


    Since upgrading to Windows 10, I've found restarts to be incredibly slow. Shutdown is fine, startup is fine. It's only when I do a restart. On my main computer Dell Optiplex 9020, Win 10 Pro 64 bit v20H2, Intel i5, SSD, 16 GB DDR3, the restart screen lasts for 30 seconds, after which it starts up normally. My other two computers laptop Win 10 Home 64 bit v2004 and desktop Win 10 Pro 64 bit v1909 are even slower. The other desktop is dual boot, and the Win 7 partition restarts normally, so the problem appears to be only with Win 10.


    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    :)

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    Windows 10 slow restart

    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.

    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.
