Boot Time with SSD and Win 10 is 90 sec.

Hi Cliff, No use. I could put the log file if needed. Now i did some troubleshooting and am definitely sure it is my amd graphics drivers. The moment i disable my graphics drivers, it takes me 15-20 seconds for boot up which is insane. Could you guys suggest some decent drivers for HD6470M with intel hd graphics family for Win 10

To add to what Mike said, to see all this stuff you can either create a Custom View Filter in Event Viewer or click and download the link I've posted with this post, unzip it(you may have to unlock it in properties) and import it to event viewer:

From there after a few days of booting you'll have enough to look at and find out where your problems are. by clicking the Details tab:

Hi Cliff,

I've imported this view and I see Event 100 (warning) many times there.

XML view is below. But when I view these logs, I don't understand what is the problem or why is it showing at all.
Hope to get your help.

Thanks.

@gil the errors, critical, and informational do not mean anything is wrong during boot. It could show something where it took longer because of an update installing or you made changes to desktop, software, a driver update any how Windows make change to system files during boot and reboot causing the boot time to increase. For example I change my desktop theme(background and color) daily, and windows prefetch boot files (C:\Windows\Prefetch\ReadyBoot\ReadyBoot.etl ) which logs what needs to be done so I get to your desktop so it can boot faster, are being constantly changed, so boot time takes a few mili seconds longer.

Your boot time is 4 seconds(BootTime">41929) 41929 milli is 41.9seconds.

You have 14 programs that are on at startup(BootNumStartupApps">14)

There is absolutely nothing wrong with you boot. I have my view set to show even more stuff, because I was checking the difference between booting with fast boot on and off while using an SSD and s few critical showed up because of a cumulitive windows update that needed to be installed, but has no impact on future booting.

my boot time is 41 seconds... it used to be about 10 seconds.
I've disabled more Startup Apps and I've increased the ReadyBoot.etl file size to 128MB instead the 20MB default value.
In addition, I see this error:
Windows failed fast startup with error status 0xC00000D4.
Event 29, Kernel-Boot
I can't seem to resolve this.

Check out here at the Microsoft community: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/w...0-b73f469a1ddf
ost of th solutions send you to Eight Forums and I believe are turning off fastboot and clearing the old prefetch files(not turning prefetch off, just clear the files and let them rebuild, of course your system will be a bit slower till they're rebuilt).

I think I managed to fixed the cold boot time issue, however I also used to have under 20 seconds restart boot time in Win10.
This 42 seconds means something has changed.
After a short investigation, I discovered that if I disconnect my external eSATA backup HDD, the computer boots much faster in Restart.

This is how my SSD/HDD management looks like:


Is this OK?

I've win10 10547
Might try cleaning out the contents of this folder... have to piddle around a little in there.
Leave the log folder but clear it contents.
"C:\Windows\System32\WDI"

Everything rebuilds itself automatically.

Somewhere I read this can speed up your shutdown.. I was having a 15 second hang with a blackscreen right before the moment of shutdown.. this changed it to 10 sec. Simple. Seems harmless.

Hi guys I just found a way to skip this in my PC the issue was on ATI driver and an option called ULPS just disabled and the boot time went from 1:45 to 15!

Open regedit
search for EnableULPS
change the value to "0"
reboot

Hope this helps

Hi,

Thanks very much for the help - this seems to have worked (just tried in once).

I have a HP Pavilion DV6 6053ea, I have a 500GB SSD with Windows 10 Pro. My boot time to date is around 2 minutes. When I had Window 8.1, 8 and 7 my boot time was 25 - 30 seconds. I can't figure out what the problem is but when I disable the graphics card I get to the lock screen in under 30 seconds but the graphics are terrible - 720p and stretched. I did upgrade my lcd screen to 1080p but boot time was below 30 seconds when I did that. It must be a driver problem... I get past the Windows icon in under 10 seconds and the rest of the time is spent just before the lock screen.

AMD Radeon HD 7400M Series
Intel(R) HD Graphics 3000
