    slow boot after upgrading from 1803 to 1903


    I skipped over 1809 and upgraded directly from 1803 to 1903. All went fine but I noticed a significant slowdown in booting. It went from several seconds to 39 seconds. I have a decent desktop computer, enough memory.

    One possible culprit: I have two physical drives – SSD and non-SSD, and I hear a lot of R/W noise when booting which I did not notice before. I did run error checking on the non-SSD and it is fine.

    I ran CCleaner, did not help. I have installed the latest patches. Any suggestions? Thanks.

    Is your SSD supposedly the boot drive?

    Can you in fact boot with the non-SSD disconnected?

    Does the non-SSD contain ANY programs or is it purely data?

    SSD is the boot drive. Non-SSD contains data that I use infrequently but it is an internal drive and I dont want to open the chassis and connect the HDD every time I want to use it.

    Have you checked to see what processes and services are running when you hear the drive chatter? Anything you can't easily explain?

    I wouldn't expect to hear R/W on a purely data drive with any regularity unless I was overtly using that data. Might be something like defrag/virus checking---assuming no apps are on it.

    Might help if filled out your system specs.

    Hmm, how do I check what processes are running when the chatter occurs during the boot?
    It may not be the drive at all. I just did not notice the chatter before given the boot was so fast.

    Well, it's easy enough to find out if it's the data drive or something else, via a cable disconnect. But I'd think drive chatter would have a very distinctive sound regardless.

    The slow boot is another issue entirely and presumably unrelated to any noise you might hear from a non-OS drive. There are ways to trace the minutiae of booting activity, but I've never bothered with it.

    Problem appeared since a windows build update, it will not wait a lot of response to your problem to try a clean installation.
