Windows 10: Windows Updates - Extremely Slow Boot, White Screen

Hi,


After doing updates today my computer takes an extremely long time to login to Windows 10 (1-3mins). It then boots to a white desktop with the taskbar visible, and again freezes for a few minutes. After that all seems to work fine.


When I restart in safe mode there is no issue.


Any idea what might be causing this or how to narrow down the problem?


Thanks

Tim

Windows 10 lock screen extremely slow at first boot.

Computer boots in just a few seconds, and after I've entered my Microsoft account password its full speed as expected. Problem is ONLY whenever I boot up my PC and it reaches the "lock screen". Here I need to click once to move on to the "enter password
screen" right, but at this point it's like I'm running Windows 10 on a Pentium90 or something. Extremely slow and "laggy".

It's not an upgrade but a clean, genuine Windows 10 install. Windows is 100% updated, so are ALL device drivers. And as I said, as soon as I enter the password and it enters Windows the PC is fast as expected. I've run several of the Windows clean-up and
troubleshooting tools and they find absolutely no problems either. It's just at this very first boot every day it's very slow. (And it doesn't matter if I let it idle at the lock screen for awhile either). If I RESTART the system after the first boot of the
day it is NOT slow at the "lock screen" at all, so this really puzzles me.

Windows boots from a NVMe Samsung SSD 950. (M2).

CPU is a Intel core i7 6700K

RAM is 32GB DDR4

GPU is a nVidia Geforce GTX1080

on a Asus Z170 Pro motherboard

Any suggestions appreciated!

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.

Looks to be similar to this: https://www.back2gaming.com/focus-story/ssd-optimization-for-windows-10-windows-8-and-8-1/


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.
