    Windows 10 takes forever to restart or shut down


    Hello all,

    We have just purchased a brand new Mpg z490 gaming carbon wifi motherboard and installed Windows 10.
    We have 2 ssd hard drives and 3 normal hard drives attached.
    Drivers and bios is upto date.
    When we select restart or shut down the pc takes forever to restart or shut down.
    Is there a way we can fix this please.

    Cheers Shane

    This can be critical with the fast-moving changes.

    Hi, there are numerous reports of slow startup with build 2004. (I'll assume you have that for now).

    About how long does a cold boot to lock screen take?

    Consider:
    KB4559309 Update for new Microsoft Edge for Windows 10 - May 27

    Just a moment...

    Or, as this is a new installation, you might, for now, wish to use build 1909, available via the appropriate tutorial which suggests using the Heidoc iso downloader to get the iso file. You then need to create a bootable disk (e.g. using instructions as per the tutorial to create a bootable disk to install Win 10). However end of service life is May '21.

    @Shanefromoz, Hello and welcome to tenforums.
    I would suggest trying to disable "fast startup" to see if it resolves the issue. You can restore it if it doesn't help.

    Just to make sure, you have Windows 10 installed on one of the SSDs?

    I've had Windows 10 installed on a HDD way back when, back in the day. Windows 10 started up soooo slowly on a HDD. But when I put it on the SSD, it sped up a lot more.

    Type in perfmon /report in the Windows Search box and hit enter. The Performance Manager will automatically run a report and diagnose issues that are impacting your PC. Luckily for you, it will also recommend solutions for each problem found.
