windows 10 slow boot

Jetster · May 23, 2016

I had a drive causing a boot lag. I had to take all the data off of it. Format it and put the data back. There was a hidden file causing the lag. I thought it was as boot sector but Ive never put a system file on this drive or had it connected when doing so.

Checked all cables disconnected all drives but the boot drive. Still the same :banghead:

I was having a slow boot issue on my Windows 7 install a little while back. It would take about 30 - 40 extra seconds to boot up for whatever reason.

I would try following these steps, while this didn't solve my issue, it did increase Read/Write to where it should be.

Looks to be similar to this: https://www.back2gaming.com/focus-story/ssd-optimization-for-windows-10-windows-8-and-8-1/

In the end, I had to reinstall my Windows 7 entirely to fix the booting issue. It was taking around 35 seconds to boot, and after the fresh install it takes about 7 seconds to boot.

Thanks for your help Jborg tried that but still the same.

It should say in your Device Manager if your running on AHCI. Check that second link, the 1st was for Windows 7.

Try downloading and running the Intel® Chipset Device Software.

Then, install the latest Intel RST driver for your Operating system.

im just going to throw this out there , there used to be a bug in windows that if you installed on a ssd, and had a hdd in the system, windows would put some boot info on the mechanical hdd, and cause slow boot,
because of that i always disconnect any mechanical hdd from the machine before i install on a ssd, it could be that, or just a bad mechanical hdd could also be a bad dvd drive , disconnect them 1 buy 1 and boot and see if any diff , and if you disconnect on of your mechanical hdds and it dont boot you will know what the problem is , and if disconnecting one makes it boot faster then that hdd/dvd drive most likely on its last legs, although a bad hdd normally makes post take longer not boot

Try looking under Storage Controllers. :rolleyes:

The hard drives will be under Disk Drives

Been trying to run intel driver update every time it comes up with failed install?

1x ssd and 3 sata drives windows on ssd.
Also just tried removing all usb devices still no luck.

Bet windows put all of your boot info on the regular hard drives. Reinstall with just the SSD plugged in.

Wow you were so right just done a fresh install with just the ssd connected. Takes like 10 secs to boot into windows not like 3 mins anymore.

Thank you so much for the advice. :toast:

Jetster · May 25, 2016

Well if you plug your drives back in and it slows back down. Take the data off you want to keep and format, put the data back and try it

No problem windows is dumb installing and this is a common issue oddly enough.

scevism · May 28, 2016

Back to the slow boot again :banghead:

not going to mess about again tired of it all. Now i just put it in hibernate mode for a quick boot.

scevism · Sep 27, 2016

Back again with my nightmare windows 10 still takes 4-5 mins to boot up down a fresh install with only ssd drive on. Tried the fast start up in the power options to off aswell in the bios. And just done a full check on my ssd with seatools ssd is fine? Running out of ideas now

95Viper · Sep 27, 2016

Just asking... But, you didn't by chance leave a disk in your optical drive?

Also, un-plug any USB devices and external devices; and, see if it boots normal.

Black.Raven · Sep 27, 2016

Check if AHCI is enabled
It should be AHCI, IDE is old. You can change it without reinstall if needed.
