Windows 10: Windows Booting very slow after 2004 update

Today I upgraded to the newest 2004 build after my pc said there was an update to be installed. I didn't check but I should have probably to see what this update is. I just clicked restart and update...

However got two issues now:

BSOD (page_fault_in_nonpaged_area ntoskrnl.exe) which I'll post a specific topic for
and

slow boot time , for my windows to be fully loaded took 6.45 seconds. I use an HDD not an SSD.

But my boot time was fine on windows build 1907 now its too slow... I've tried disabling some startup items but this probably won't help me.

Any tips to get it down to what it used to be? I don't know the exact number but it was maybe 1 to 2 minutes tops.

:)

 

Windows Booting very slow after 2004 update ,

@JonGraef - that is an interesting observation, BUT it might be an effect rather than a cause. Nontheless, I have seen old and new reports where the Windows WMI (WBEM) repository can get out of sync with "reality" (i.e. what bits and peices under the "hood"
are where, and other properties), and cause that event 6006, and a slow boot or slow display of login screen. There is an easy way to check it out, and if the first "verify" command works, then go no further, it has probably got rebuilt OK:

"

• To perform a repair/re-sync of the Windows 10 WMI repository:
  1. Open an elevated command prompt. (right click the start menu icon, choose admin cmd or powershell)
     
  2. Verify the WMI repository is not corrupt by running the following command:

• If the repository is not corrupted, a “WMI Repository is consistent” message will be returned; if you get something else, go to step 3, otherwise if the repository is consistent, more troubleshooting will be required as the repository is not likely the
  problem.

1. Run the following commands to repair WMI:

• If the repository salvage fails to work, then run the following command to see if it resolves the issue:

• After the last command, there should be a “WMI Repository has been reset” message returned that verifies the command was successful.

 

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.
