Windows 10: Slow boot time on SSD 6-mins OS loading screen

Hey,

Windows 10 screen takes 6-minutes on average. Which is really frustrating since I occasionally boot to/from Ubuntu. I noticed the issue a few weeks ago. Before that I would barely see the loading screen( only for 2 seconds tops ).

Tried these so far;

- Disable fast boot
- Full clean and reinstall of Video Drivers
- Reset Windows( Without saving documents )
- Windows Performance Recorder ( Shows my boot as 30 seconds which is complately false )
- Disable startup apps ( Shouldn't matter since that is AFTER the loading screen but done for the sake of doing it )

Only hint I got about it is from this thread:
Slow boot time on SSD (during OS loading screen) - Windows 10 Forums

%windir%\System32\shutdown.exe -s -hybrid -f -t 00

With this command, which apparently equals to hibernate + fast boot, my loading screen duration goes back to 1-2seconds. However it doesn't work on restart and it is pretty much a bandaid.

I assume some will blame the dual-boot situation, please keep in mind this problem is really recent and I have been using the setup without any problems until now.

Hello , i formatted my pc 6 days ago , upgraded my win10 home to pro , i bought an oem key .Everythings fine now , boot times around 6 secs without fast boot ,but i prefer fast boot :) , i had same problems with u , i disabled win10 updates completelty this time ,(except activating win10 pro )
I am suspecting about win10 monthly updates .I tried almost everything before format , even i tried factory settings win10 ,.Nothing worked .I guess this is bleeding wounds of win10 updates .We will see end of month .I will inform u with a pm .Sry about my bad english .

Thanks a lot for the update. I definitely suspect the windows updates aswell, since Reset did not work. Reset keeps Windows in it's updated state apparently.

Going to wait for a fix I guess. I need the updates to run Windows Store games unfortunately. It is just weird that only a minority experiences these issues.

I have already gone through these. As I already stated on the main post, these logs doesn't catch that first loading. It probably starts logging right after it. So I don't really think you can find anything that will help, even though I hope you can.

meh cant afford to have a Windows 10 OS without any updates.
I'm suffering from the same issue where boot degradation occurs after several weeks, and im using an ASUS motherboard too, so i seriously suspect something about the compatibility of these boards with Windows 10.

Im hanging my hopes on the Spring Creators Update to somehow fix this issue, but i seriously doubt that.

Can whoever has this slow boot time check the "Last BIOS time" value on Task Manager - Startup tab?
Mine shows 14s after reboot, if you have fast startup enabled and you shutdown, it will be accumulated until next reboot / shutdown without fast startup.

@ArtsArts I accidently took updates today , my experiment is finished here , today boot time is 6-7 secs and as fast as 1st day .I hope these files dont affect my startup times,

Alright keep us posted, so you are on Fall CU now or already Spring CU?
