    Someone please help me out

    I have done the upgrade to Win 10 and all seems to have went OK, but my Boot times have went from around 40 seconds on Win 7 to 2.30 to 3.00 minutes on Win 10.

    I have researched to no avail, i have removed my AV "just in case" and i have checked my BIOS whilst also checking msconfig and services.msc

    I am running an SSHD with an I5 and 8GB ram if that is any help. Also if I revert back to Win 7 my boot times return to normal.

    Getting sick of this slow business, just want it sorted out.

    Thank you

    Do you have 'Fast Startup' enabled on 10?

    tbh even 40 seconds on 7 sounds like way too long... even with a clunking old HDD it never took that long to boot...

    Other than that all i can suggest is a reset/clean install of 10 [as in install it from scratch rather than upgrading it from 7]...

    Thanks RedFlames, I think I will try the fresh install, might be the only option left

    And i thought 40 seconds was doing good for Win 7 LOL

    Done a clean install and my last boot time on Win 10 was just over 3 minutes :wallbash:

    Is that from the PC being off to being in Windows or just to go through the splash screen and boot Windows to the login screen?

    It's far too long either way. Maybe it is the SSHD not playing nicely...? I'm really unsure to be honest with you.

    Hi

    I timed it from the first win logo after the BIOS logo to Win 10 displaying the desktop correctly, being able to use it properly takes longer though.

    I have checked my SSHD and all tests say it is running fine.

    Grab Process Monitor from Microsoft here and enable boot logging then follow Mark's guide here to help debug slow logins (He wrote the tools so he knows how to use them :))

    Hope that helps

    Well I have eventually succeeded, and I dont really know how. It was a combination of.

    Reset BIOS (even though all that was changed was BOOT order)
    Chose older soundcard drivers

    Then I opened MSCONFIG, Boot, ticked No GUI boot and changed timeout to 3 seconds. Went into advanced options where I chose the number of cores to 4 instead of 1 and hey presto I now boot into windows in 26 seconds.

    Thank you for the suggestions guys
