Boot time longer than usual?

Well you can run a quick virus scan, just to be sure.

But it can also be that a lot of stuff starts up at turn on (like Steam, Origin, Adobe Creative Cloud and all that stuff starts up, which makes it slower)

And I also heard these 840 EVO drives have this, but not sure.

I brought an SSD at the start of the year and over the past week I noticed that my boot up time is longer than usual?

 

I'm running Windows 7 and it takes around a minute or so now where as before it only took 30 seconds.

 

What could be causing this? Its a Samsung 840 Evo

Just ran Malwarebytes and found nothing.

I remember there was a way to change things on start up but can't remember how exactly..

So it could just be the SSD itself?

I think with Windows 8, you can just open the Task Manager and see, but don't remember with Windows 7.

But it could very well be the SSD.

My dad and brother both have that SSD and I didn't hear them complain.. But heard some people online talk about it.

I was more worried about it being a faulty SSD or something but as long as it is most probably just the model or the amount of programs on start up I'm not too fussed

 

Thanks for the information

I had the same exact problem with my 250gb 840 evo. It takes between 50 seconds to a minute to get to the windows home screen. I have fast boot enabled and I don't have a lot of programs that start up when windows starts. Other than that though the drive seems to work fine
