Sudden slow boot time on Windows Loading screen with SSD

WP 20180222 17 42 35 Pro - YouTube I've recorded a video showing the problem, as you can see, it seems that in the loading screen the SSD "turns off" and only starts about 60 seconds after, you can see by the LED that starts to blink and then shows the login screen.

Sorry for late reply, your problem is the BIOS boot process taking to long to boot the system. Can you boot your computer into BIOS/UEFI setup screen and reset BIOS settings to factory default.

If issue not resolved try disconnecting all hard disk drives and all externally attached devices, except for mouse and keyboard and see if the boot time speeds up.

I just did that, the problem persists with default BIOS setup, I'll try now with drives disconnected .

Surprisingly the first boot after disconnecting the other two drives was normal, it took about 3 seconds to appear the login screen, but at the second and third attempts it went back to about 60 seconds and then showing the login screen.

When SMART is enabled, the SMART status check for all hard disk drives is automatically performed every time the computer is turned on or restarted. Which will slow down boot time you should set the SMART to Short Self-Test within BIOS setup screen.

Upgrade BIOS/UEFI firmware check your motherboard or computer manufacturer website for the latest BIOS/UEFI firmware update.

Select one of the following hard disk drive device tests:

• SMART Status Check: Checks the status of the hard disk drive SMART status. Displays whether SMART support is enabled or disabled.
  
• SMART Short Self-Test: Runs a short self-test on the hard disk drive.
  
  
• SMART Extended Self-Test: Runs an Extended self-test on the hard disk drive. This may take some time.
