The problem:
Upon loading into windows 10 and reaching the sign in screen: I type in my password and sign in before getting a loading screen with rotating circle that says welcome. This loading screen takes anywhere from 20 minutes to over an hour to load into windows. This has been going on for months. At first I assumed this was because my motherboard/CPU was dying, which was causing several other problems for my pc, but upon replacing my motherboard, RAM, and CPU with brand new ones the other problems were fixed but the long loading time persisted. Load times do seem to be somewhat affected by how long ago the last boot was, restarting and loading into windows a second time immediately after having just loaded into it seems to make it load faster on the second time.
What I'm using:
OS: 64-bit Windows 10 Home
Bios Version/Date: American Megatrends Inc. M.B0, 12/3/2020
Psu: EVGA 500W White
Gpu: Radeon RX 580 8GB
Hard drive: Seagate BarraCuda 2TB Internal Hard Drive HDD
Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 2600X
RAM: TEAMGROUP Inc. 16GB (8GBx2) - 3000MHz C16 DDR4 SDRAM
MotherBoard: MSI B450-A PRO MAX
I don't know how relevant it is but I also have two 1TB external hard drives plugged in via USB.
All parts were purchased new within the past 1-2 years and have shown no other signs of issue.
What I've tried/Tests:
Before the new motherboard/CPU/RAM: 1 hour - 1h30m
First load after installing motherboard/CPU/RAM: 12 minutes
Typical load times after first: 1 hour-1h10m
Attempt to load into safe mode: 23 minutes
Restarting from safe mode into normal windows: 21 minutes
I've tried enabling/disabling fast startup several times but it doesn't seem to have much of any effect on load times.
