Two identical machines, 10 second boot time difference
I have two identical MSI GT80 SLI machines, configured identically hardware wise and software wise also.
Well, there is one difference, one has lower bandwidth RAM than the other. 17000 vs 19200. Both have 32GB.
Latest-greatest 10 obviously.
Samsung 970 EVO PLUS 2TB is the boot disk on both. One disk was a clone of the other via Macrium. About a month ago, and since then I did configure them a bit different from each other. Install this software package or that.
BIOS looks identical.
powercfg is identical.
startup is almost identical, in fast the fast machine has more things starting than the slower one. I did go into startup and uncheck everything thought I thought could slow it down. To no avail. The 10 second slower boot time just will not go away.
The 'fast' machine gets to the login screen in 21 seconds, the 'slow' one in 31-35 seconds.
Is there any easy way to tell what could cause that discrepancy. Just wondering where 10-15 seconds seconds goes every time.
