Windows 10 takes a long time to boot after unexpected shutdown
I have a laptop with a slightly damaged motherboard, which does not allow the laptop to derive power from the battery. Consequently, in case of a power shutdown, the laptop shuts down.
The booting after this unexpected shutdown takes a very long time, during which the disk seeks to be entirely occupied. Even after Windows is logged, the system is sluggish for some time, during which System and compressed memory seem to take 100% if disk usage.
A cold reboot, i.e., after a correct shutdown and restart, takes very little time indeed.
What could be the issue? Is the system performing some tasks like disk checks etc. like what used to happen with XP or 7, whenever it shuts down unexpectedly, but I don't see any notification that this is happening..?
Kindly advise.
Thank you.
