Windows 10 critical slow boot from SSD (2-4 minutes)
Hello there, I'm aware of the thousand similar threads, read some of them, tried some methods until things went worse than before.
Another quite important thing is that during start-up I only see the MB logo on screen.
Every time the computer starts the mouse or keyboard, all razer's, one of them goes off and power up in 40 seconds. After this is done the loading "rotation animation" for loading Windows appear and go for 2-4 minutes before lock screen appear.
This is taking ridiculous amount of time. Only good thing is I only have to power-up once a day.
PC from the System Spec:
MB: AsRock Z77 Extreme4, last BIOS update last year
CPU: i7-3770k (not OC)
RAM: 16GB Corsair Vengeance
GPU: EVGA 980ti
Main SSD: SanDisk ExtremePro
Side SSD: Corsair Force (Windows 8 on-board)
WD BLUE HDD
Seagate external drive
Through the years 2011-present I had this problem like 2-3 times, it fixed itself and appeared again on a random basis, or at least I don't know what exactly cause it.
My OS boot time used to be less than 10 seconds, but when the issue initially started the boot was taking up to 90 secs.
Looking at Event Viewer logs for the last few days boot time is 140 to 160 secs.
Last night after trying some of the fixes below boot time went up to 4 minutes or 233000 ms. PAINFUL!
Things I tried to speed-up the process:
FAST start-up is off.
Power settings is "High Performance", HDD never shuts down.
ULPS, I don't have such.. so it's disabled.
I tried switching WDF service to Automatic, and now back to Manual. It didn't sped up.
Defragmenting, optimizing, cleaning-up, running anti-virus and anti-malware on SSD and other drives.
Updated video driver to latest version last night.
Keep Windows 10 updated at all time.
AHCI is turned ON in the boot menu.
Windows manager is set to boot as main.
I tried to disable it and selected the SanDisk but Windows 10 didn't boot and instead it goes to Corsair's Windows 8.
From the EventViewer I have the following Event 219 for some USB device:
The driver \Driver\WUDFRd failed to load for the device USB\VID_045E&PID_063E\ae55b7c9-1b54-40e4-aa77-04928bb63080.
Unfortunately I'm not smart enough to tell which device represents the address "ae55b7c9-1b54-40e4-aa77-04928bb63080". Maybe guide me to how to find out.
I also have the boot time log which is always Critical.
Normally the IsDegradation flag is false, but today's boot was kind of "special".Windows has started up:
Boot Duration : 233510ms
IsDegradation : true
Incident Time (UTC) : 2017-08-07T16:53:45.635928200Z
I'm open for any advice on how to fix that and go back at least to 90 secs if not 10. Reinstalling the OS is not desired.Code:- EventData BootTsVersion 2 BootStartTime 2017-08-07T16:53:45.635928200Z BootEndTime 2017-08-07T16:59:37.219668900Z SystemBootInstance 361 UserBootInstance 361 BootTime 233510 MainPathBootTime 219410 BootKernelInitTime 24 BootDriverInitTime 288 BootDevicesInitTime 210989 BootPrefetchInitTime 0 BootPrefetchBytes 0 BootAutoChkTime 0 BootSmssInitTime 5239 BootCriticalServicesInitTime 464 BootUserProfileProcessingTime 236 BootMachineProfileProcessingTime 19 BootExplorerInitTime 1632 BootNumStartupApps 44 BootPostBootTime 14100 BootIsRebootAfterInstall false BootRootCauseStepImprovementBits 0 BootRootCauseGradualImprovementBits 0 BootRootCauseStepDegradationBits 9 BootRootCauseGradualDegradationBits 9 BootIsDegradation true BootIsStepDegradation true BootIsGradualDegradation true BootImprovementDelta 0 BootDegradationDelta 115228 BootIsRootCauseIdentified true OSLoaderDuration 668 BootPNPInitStartTimeMS 24 BootPNPInitDuration 211133 OtherKernelInitDuration 428 SystemPNPInitStartTimeMS 211553 SystemPNPInitDuration 252 SessionInitStartTimeMS 211814 Session0InitDuration 3783 Session1InitDuration 134 SessionInitOtherDuration 1321 WinLogonStartTimeMS 217054 OtherLogonInitActivityDuration 469 UserLogonWaitDuration 43020
