[SOLVED] Need some advise concerning Legacy+UEFI

[CitizenSmith]

Hi All
Could do with some advise about Legacy and UEFI
I'm running on the following:
B450 GAMING PRO CARBON AC with latest Bios
AMD Ryzen 5 3600
32 GB ram
Windows 10 pro
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER

Can someone advise me here I am experiencing longer than should be post time
and after reading many comments I think that it might be connected to legacy in some way as disabling it seemed to work for someone others however I don't want to disable it as I believe this disables the use of usb keyboard and mouse in the bios which is obviously a problem when trying to edit bios as I only have use of usb keyboard and mouse.
what is the difference between Legacy+UEFI or Only UEFI I tried to select UEFI but after saving it just keeps loading back to bios so I gather i have installed it on Legacy? not that I can remember having a choice in the matter when I was installing the OS but any way I do believe it is possible to convert drive over to UEFI but my question is, is that wise am I better leaving as is and what one is better if any!.
thanks for any info you could give on the subject as i'm a bit in the dark as you can see!
Regards
Daz

for xperf command, u need to be in that log folder, not in system32
cd c:\temp to get there if u not used another folder

Not sure what you mean there what are you referring to! and unfortunately SysMain made no difference

C:\WINDOWS\system32>xperf /tti -i

that c:\windows\system32 is wrong folder
move it to c:\temp (if u have logs there)
command:
CD C:\temp

its readyboot not readyboost, but nice catch

readyboot u can disable if u open performance monitor (win+r -> perfom)
on left side click on data collector set -> startup event trace seassions
and there u can disable readyboot

I'm not sure...but doesn't disabling prefetch service (SysMain now) also disable Readyboot?

FastStartup and Prefetch has always been the source of more trouble than good and really unecessary in this era of fast SSD's and NVME's. It's not been worth troubleshooting them, so I disable preferentially.

It's in c temp and although I can see readyboot in list there is nothing there to enable it I have looked in ever tab I already looked

xperf: error: boot_BASE+CSWITCH+DRIVERS+POWER_1.etl: Unknown (0x8000ffff).

Got a funny feeling here that even if I were to do a fresh install I will still end up with long boot delay again so many msi users complaining about it!. I have also just remembered that I used a small app to close MS spyware down when I first installed I am now wondering if this could have contributed to it but that would not explain high amount of other users of msi having same issue.

I will have a look at the repair you suggested earlier and worst case I will reinstall minus that app and monitor when the loading drag happens if it indeed does happen again but for not I'll just try the repair and see what that yields.
again many thanks for all your time buddy I sure you could do with a break I'll soldier on and see what happens.
cheers buddy

Good morning to you
I just had a break through. I have a program called Windows 10 manager basically a fix it clean up program while I only use it for certain things as they are not that great just handy for certain tasks. I fired it up this morning out of boredom and went to system speed up page and selected the following:
Disable Prefetcher
Disable Defragmentation
Increase paged memory usage for ntfs file system
Turn off the search indexer
Disable windows zip and cab compressed folders
Disable program compatibility
I think you suggested Prefetcher that yesterday and I believe we did turn it off but I selected to turn it off again just in case so although I am unsure what the issue is at least I have a short list to work through when I reinstall next time and you have a few more ideas for your arsenal when helping others as well. there is literally no boot time I couldn't even get to see the spinning wheel its that fast man am I so happy ))))) super fast boot time I will be pasting that list up on a few forums where I saw others with same problem.
Again my friend I want to thank you for your persistence and perseverance yesterday it was above and beyond Bless you buddy and karma right back at ya
