I have a weird issue with 24H2 where upon boot-up, it shows the boot-up screen with the motherboard logo image in the center and the swirling circle below it. It then goes to a blank screen and then shows another boot screen with the swirling circle sans the motherboard logo image and then finally goes to the login screen where I can successfully login and use my system. However, the bootup time is longer than it should be considering my hardware.

I've reloaded clean, even wiped the SSDs clean by deleting all partitions during Windows setup, and reinstalled Windows 24H2 clean. No dice. I'm running 26100.4061.

All drivers are up to date including graphics, chipset, network (Ethernet and WiFi), audio, and Bluetooth drivers.

Anyone else see this?
 
I have the same W11 build and there's no such thing going on. Guess some of your hardware isn't stable enough, or you have this weird AM5 DDR5 issue I heard of but never took any time to investigate.

Off-topic: noticed it showing cards with my hardware. Neat but it's incorrectly showing RAM running at 2133 MT/s when it's in fact running 3200 MT/s:

My hardware is stable, proven to be stable using several tests that are part of OCCT. Passes CPU, memory, and Linpack tests.
 
Although not a direct answer, based on my AM5 windows 10 machine, the boot times are quite lousy, and become more lousy with more added gadgetry, especially usb drives. The bootup time with just two usb c drives is up to 30secs. With my 3 usb hdds its way longer. Just good old incompetence, but i dont care as it really makes no practical difference. Sometimes (maybe 1in100) windows doesn't boot up properly, hangs for ages, or just takes way too long, the odds of this happening increase with a combo of repeated resets and what looks like more gadetry. Many gadgets are a bit of a lottery.
By the way, those tests don't prove your system is stable, to do that you need a few solid months of real world activities like gaming, productivity, even frequent benchmarking under your belt. Things change, yes a platitude, but things do just randomly change and give you greif.

But given M$s exorbitant incompetence and ideology, one might be tempted to use a kind of principle of explosion to justify blaming them. Even though they have nothing to do with it, they surprisingly can still be blammed.
