Slow boot into Windows

[zeros]

Hiya all,

 

Booting into windows takes several minutes.

I have 2xSamsung SSD's in raid 0 for windows. Booting from bios is quick, no problems, but once it starts booting into windows it takes several minutes with the windows loading dots going around. This has been happening for several months but was lazy to find a fix, but now I got upset about it and looking for a fix

I thought it was my 6TB HDD but unplugging it had to effect on this, my PC is in my signature. Any ideas?

 

Edit:

For some reason when I boot Firefox starts up same place as I leave it or even if I close it before shutting down it starts up when booting on the last youtube video I watched if that's the last thing it was open with

have you overclocked your ram? if so try lowering the overclock a bit, i had this problem in the past that it would take 30secs on 3100mhz and 10 secs on 3000mhz

I have not overclocked the RAM before this started happening, it worked perfectly before. But I'll check.

I ran CCleaner, didn't help.

Check if you have some windows updates that fail to install.. i think you can see them from setup (controlpanel) -> updates and security -> logs or something similar.. if windows tries to install same update everytime you boot it would explain the 10min start up.

 

Also if you have several antivirus/firewall programs running, they can block each other because both try to be the first program to start, meaning long start up time.. i had this thing happening in windows xp, but i guess it can still happen in 10

 

And goto taskmanager and disable everything unnecessary from starting, like printer software, torrent software and stuff... things you can start up if you need them.

Windows updates was off, was giving errors trying to update. Turned windows update service on, updated to latest versions which was 5 updates.

 

No change to boot time.

 

Edit: no antivirus programs, only win defender. For startup I only have Discord and Steam set-up.

Boot time recorded.. 7min

 

I have checked and fixed all driver errors so I've got that going for me... I will try to check with Windows Performance Toolkit.

Try running a command prompt under administrator (open task manager and click new then run and type in taskmgr and make sure the run as admin box is checked) once come comes up just run “chkdsk /f c:/“ without quotes and it should ask to schedule the chkdsk the computer comes up restart the computer and let it do its thing (will take a while) mine took a while to do when I had windows 8

Fyi if anyone else had/have this problem:

 

I received an update to windows a few days ago and that fixed it. I don't know how an update would have been stuck or how to remove whatever caused it previously. My fault was that I didn't care for too long and lost track of which update caused this issue.
