Win 10 slow booting

lumbco · 06 Mar 2023

Windows 10 slow booting went back to normal today without me doing anything, has this happened to anyone else?

There may have been an update that was installing. If it is working fine now, then there is nothing to worry about. You can do a HDD/SSD Diagnostic with Crystal Disk Info and DiskGenius in my signature.
We can help you further if you would fill out the Computer Specs in your profile with the specs of your computer so we don't have to keep asking.

Thanks for your reply, I have added the Computer Specs to my profile.

I suspected that the problem was due to an update and have just checked the windows update history. It may have been caused by the Cumulative Update dated 16/02/2023 as the very slow booting started at about the same time. However there is no record of another update 3 or 4 days ago when the boot up time returned to normal.

One cause of slow boots that affects just a few people (see applicable solved threads) is an accumulation of temporary files.

If you had cleared those, for example, that might account for this.

Thanks for your contribution, I have not cleared any temporary files.

My system continues to perform normally so I am glad that I can just leave it alone.
