Slow Pre-Session Init Boot Phase (WPR Log Attached)
Hi Everyone!
I've had a long- running issue where my PC will get stuck in the pre-session init boot phase. As far as I can tell it has something to do with storport.sys polling RAID devices and repeatedly timing out. Only problem, I've never setup RAID on my machine before. I did change from an Intel CPU/Mobo to AMD, and I have cloned my OS from a HDD to an SSD and also converted to GPT. Somewhere along the way it seems like the configuration may have been corrupted and I'm at my wits end on how to fix it.
OS Info:
Things I've tried:
- SFC
- DISM
- CHKDSK
- Boot Repair
- Inplace Repair
- Updating to Win11 (problem existed since Win10 so posting here)
- Removing references to RAID in registry (including setting RaidEnabled values to 0)
- Enabling RAID in BIOS, then disabling it (it was worth a shot)
- Deleting all old drivers (including hidden drivers)
- Updating all drivers
- DDU all chipsets and rinstalling chipset and GPU drivers
- CSM disabled
- Reinstalling Windows
- Sacrificing three bananas to Cthulu
- Uninstalling all antiviruses and disabling early launch antivirus (though that still seems to run)
- Disabling and re-enabling page file
- Consolidating MBR (this did help, but speed quickly degraded again)
- Using TRIM and creating a 10% blank partition for over-provisioning
- Toggling XMP
- Altering the number of cores used for boot and how much ram used for boot
- Using ntfs-fix in Ubuntu
- Using boot-repair in Ubuntu (different from the previous boot repair mentioned)
- Disabling TPM and secure boot
- Probably more I've already repressed from trauma
As can be seen, normal fixes don't appear to be cutting it for this doozy.
I can't seem to upload the WPR ZIP here, but I did Upload it to Google Drive Google Drive: Sign-in
Would appreciate any help!
