Very slow boot-up time (over three minutes)

What I can see from the sreen capture, that there is a big delay of 109s (almost 2 min) in the Session Init phase.
In this phase the drivers are loaded. check if all your drivers are up to date, especially the graphic card driver.

If I've the boot trace I could identify the culprit driver. 6 Gb may seems huge but after compression it can be reduced to 1 gb.

I compressed it to 600mb. But how can I share it with you?

Good, upload it on dropbox or https://www.transfernow.net/ and share the link.

Hi,

I've downloaded the file, and I'll analyze it ...

Hi,

There was many events that was dropped during the boot trace, but there is enough data to undertake a troubleshooting.



First, the majority of the delay happens in the Session init phase. in this phase the OS primarily load and initialize drivers.

I have identified two suspect drivers:

• NoMachine Hub that causes a boot delay of 12s. Windows try to reload the catalog to check the code integrity for this driver because it's a non-embedded-signed driver. So try to upgrad to the latest version of NoMachine application.

• But the biggest delay is caused by Intel Management Engine driver ( 90 s)

you have the version 11.7.0.1057. There is a newer version available on the Intel website Download Intel® Management Engine Consumer Driver for Intel® NUC Kit NUC7i3DN

Update this driver and see if that help.

Finally take another boot trace.

Great analysis work, Zine. You did it again! Keep up the great work.
