Black Screen Before Startup - Help Reading Boot Trace File
Hi all,
This is my first post, not sure if I should have introduced myself first?
I am experiencing a quite long black screen between the BIOS and the Windows Logo.
Windows is installed on a Samsung SSD, while docs and stuff are on other internal HDDs, which are excluded from startup in BIOS. Once the Windows Logo comes up, everything is ready in seconds.
I thought this could be due to my new video card (GTX 1050 Ti) so I updated the driver, but nothing changed.
This also happens when rebooting, but anyways I also tried disabling hibernation and fastboot. No luck.
I then found this post (Startup takes too long at Winlogon Init) so I ran a boot trace. PC restarted and got stuck on the usual black screen but for several minutes, so I eventually forced a restart by pressing the power button, usual black screen again, login, and then a popup saying the trace was being completed.
Here is the trace file: Dropbox - boot_1.etl - Simplify your life
I hope someone can help me figure out what is going on?
Thanks in advance!
Roberto
