My desktop icons and folders take 1-2 mins to load properly when i get to my desktop screen. I have my OS on a SSD so changing the pagefile wont help very much. Im kinda stumped atm. Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

FIXED!! Went into BIOS and my HDD was set as an option before my SSD, The OS was going through my 2TB HDD first.  :P

And you said you were positive.. Tsk tsk. 

 

Why did you install your OS on your HDD and your SSD? I'm.. a little confused.

OS is on SSD but the boot manager cycles through boot order first. So if your HDD is set as option #1 and the SSD is option #2 it will check the HDD first.

I'm just confused how it could load your OS from your HDD.. if it's not installed on it. If it checks the HDD first, it should detect nothing and move to the next device. Even if it doesn't, when loading your OS it shouldn't be slow like an HDD if it isn't running on an HDD..

It isnt. That obviously wasnt my problem.

So changing the boot order affected the loading of your OS.. how?

I just said it didnt. Do you have anything to contribute or do you want to keep going around in circles?

Oh, I didn't realize you didn't actually fix it. I never saw that you edited your post. You should tag them with bold "Edit" tags!

 

Run "sfc /scannow" in a command prompt opened as Administrator.
