Erratic Complete Startup on New Win10 Install
My current win10 install on a Dell T3500 was becoming slow,
with noticeable time needed to switch to an open Microsoft Word document after
viewing Firefox, oddball activities with some app’s, etc.
I decided to perform a win10 reinstall using the Media
creation tool on a separate Seagate Barracuda 1tb hard drive. Both drives are
connected to my Dell T3500, and I use Setup to switch between them. The new drives runs fine, with none of the
problems I had earlier. It is a recent reinstall, and I’m still adding app’s.
There is one problem, the second drive doesn’t always start
completely, hanging at the black screen with the blue window and the rotating
dots. If I continue to wait, the hard drive activity light turns off. I can always start by using a hard shutdown about three times and then clicking the restart button in the Automatic Repair screen.
It is an erratic problem, sometimes in one startup, and maybe 10
startups or more other times.
Fast startup is disabled.
I used SeaTools to check bad sectors.
Any suggestions? I’m ready to switch to the new drive, but not with this issue.
