Horrifically long boot time

[kevin.smerbeck]

It takes over 20 minutes to boop up
I'm using an SSD and an i5 6600k. It seems like trying to install this newest update is causing this issue am I correct

make sure fast startup is turned off: https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/4189-turn-off-fast-startup-windows-10-a.html - if it was off before, make sure it is now.
check you have latest motherboard drivers for PC, as old sata drivers may cause this.

this may not be the answer to your problem but try it anyway.... a few days ago my pc started taking 5 minutes to get through various screens before the desktop arrived..... eventually it stopped at a screen with a built in option to shutdown before desktop.... I then remembered that on day of purchase a fan was unplugged by builder on purpose as the cable would have snagged on transit packing...... I took the side off my pc and saw that 1 cable plug had moved slightly due to hot/cold air passing over it...... it was just enough out of line to nearly stop my pc booting.... SO I would suggest you examine all your plugs.

As it turns out might be a corrupted file as it wouldn't boot period
God damn it Microsoft

I assume PC starts, it just won't load windows?

is there anything on C drive you want to rescue? try making this on another PC: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/use-ubuntu-live-cd-to-backup-files-from-your-dead-windows-computer/ (Can use a USB if you want to: https://tutorials.ubuntu.com/tutorial/tutorial-create-a-usb-stick-on-windows)
Also, on another PC, download the Windows 10 media creation tool and use it to make a win 10 installer on USB

See if you can get into safe mode
boot from installer, on 2nd screen after languages, choose repair this pc, not install
choose troubleshoot
choose advanced
choose start up options
hit the restart button
choose a safe mode (it doesn't matter which) by using number associated with it.
Pc will restart and load safe mode

If it is corrupted files, we can try to fix them:
right click start button
choose powershell (admin)
type SFC /scannow and press enter
once its completed, type this command into same window:
Repair-WindowsImage -Online -RestoreHealth and press enter
SFC fixes system files, DISM cleans image files, re run SFC if it failed to fix all files and restart PC

If Startup options isn't an option, try running system restore from the advanced menu
pick a date to roll system settings back to - hopefully a recent date.
PC will restart and roll system settings back, might fix the problem

If that doesn't help, I would do a reset
boot from installer, on 2nd screen after languages, choose repair this pc, not install
choose troubleshoot
choose reset this PC
2 choices, save files and settings or wipe it all. (Files = library folders. Library folders = Documents, pictures, movies, music (the default folders that come with windows). Settings = logins and desktop)
regardless of choice, PC will restart and reinstall win 10. You will need to reinstall all programs again. Reset only effects C drive so if you had 2 hdd, for example, it wouldn't touch the second drive or delete anything there.
