This is not really a question but just something i want to post here for people having problems with slow boot times of windows 10.

 

I was just minding my own business and studying for my exams, till it was almost time for a good night rest! Windows 10 was complaining about updates so i was yea whyy not ?!! So windows 10 was updating and my computer was going to restart. I was waiting for my computer to come back on... and waiting ... okay well the updates really do take a long time ... ! My computer finally booted. i wanted to test if it really where the updates causing a slow boot. 

 

I turn my machine off and on again and..... it took about 9 minutes to boot up! what 9 minutes on a I7 6700 with 32 GB of RAM and a SDD where windows is installed on??!!!! Jup it took 9 minutes. i couldnt really believe that it took that long so i tested it again! And same story again!! 

 

i just couldnt believe it when it booted into windows i was tchecking my file explorer and i noticed something! my hard disk wasnt recognized anymore !? So i just opened my case and take a look to my hard drive ! and yea some way or another my power cable wasnt probably attached to my hdd! i plugged it in again and started my computer again and bam !!! windows took 20 seconds!!

 

FOR PEOPLE WHO DONT WANT TO READ EVERYTHING:

 

If windows is booting slow it could be a bad driver or a USB device that is causing the problem! it could also be a BIOS boot priorety problem! Or it could be just an update taking a long time (dont turn your computer off to quickly) 

BUT

If you are sure that the device where your OS is on is fast and okay to go ! Usb is not causing any problem! well then lookout for other HDD's or SSD's cause they may extend your boot period for a long time, make sure they are propally connected! Could be with other faulty or bad connected hardware to ( like your RAM ) ! 

 

mister bassix out :-D (hope i can help some people) and sorry for bad spelling english isnt my native language !! ;-)

Okay but usually you wait someone ask to give feedback, this is likely to disappear very soon and be forgotten since nobody asked.
