windows 10 slow boot

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.

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.

 

Slow Windows 11 Boot Time Issue - Need Help!

Hi everyone,

I recently upgraded from Windows 10 to Windows 11 through a clean installation. I formatted my C drive completely, leaving the files on my D drive untouched. However, since the upgrade, I've been experiencing a significant issue with the booting time. It takes almost 1 minute 50 seconds to 2 minutes or more for the Windows login screen to appear. During this time, I can only see the loading indicator. This is in stark contrast to my previous boot time of 10-15 seconds on Windows 10.

Here are some additional details about my laptop:

• Model: Asus Vivobook 14 D415UA
  
• CPU: Ryzen 5500U
  
• RAM: 16 GB
  
• Storage: SAMSUNG SSD M2 512GB
  
• Windows 11 Home 23H2
  

I have already ensured that Hiberboot/Fastboot is enabled, and hibernation is disabled, as I prefer to keep it that way (just like on Windows 10).

I am reaching out to the Reddit community for assistance in resolving this issue. I kindly request your help in providing any suggestions or solutions that might help me improve my boot time on Windows 11.

Please note that I am already aware of common troubleshooting steps like removing startup apps, so I would appreciate any insights beyond those.

Thank you in advance for your valuable assistance!

 

Windows 10 Boot times issue

The two are linked as you've observed and as I mentioned.

What puzzles me is the change after the power outage, which would suggest some form of corruption, which does not seem the case.

The other thing that can cause slow boot times are certain updates. For example this update:
KB4100347 Intel microcode updates for Windows 10 v1803 - September 13 - Page 9 - Windows 10 Forums

So I'm now wondering if the change in boot time is actually unrelated to your power outage. Using WPR as @zinou suggests is then the next step.
