[SOLVED] Slow Boot on SSD

[Washing_Bear]

I have been dealing with this issue for months, and I can't stand it anymore. It takes around 3 minutes to boot my computer, with most of that time being spent on my motherboard splash screen and spinning dots. HALP pls.

Pastebin of Boot log

dxdiag

Autoruns scan

Prior to today, I have disabled all but the most necessary startup services/programs to no avail. Fast boot is DISABLED. Power option is set to "High Performance". ULPS is disabled in registry.

1. Checked AutoRuns for yellow (file missing) entries, and unchecked them so that they don't attempt to run.
2. Used elevated Powershell to run "SFC /scannow". Corrupt files were found / repaired.
3. Used elevated Powershell to run "dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /scanhealth". Returned "No component store corruption detected."
4. Run CrystalDiskMark on all disks. All disks performing fine. HD Sentinel reports all disks in good working order.
5. Enabled Boot Logs and found multiple instances of sys files not loading, after having been loaded once.

5 instances of "BOOTLOG_NOT_LOADED \SystemRoot\System32\drivers\dxgkrnl.sys"
1 instance of "BOOTLOG_NOT_LOADED \SystemRoot\system32\DRIVERS\amdfendr.sys"
4 instances of "BOOTLOG_NOT_LOADED \SystemRoot\System32\DRIVERS\NDProxy.sys"
1 instance of "BOOTLOG_NOT_LOADED \SystemRoot\system32\drivers\wd\WdFilter.sys"

Investigated these .sys files, AMD driver / directX may be the problem?

1. Used Admin CMD prompt to run chkdisk /f on my Windows install drive. Found errors and ran through the repair routine with no errors that I could see.
2. Uninstalled GPU drivers.

Device Manager > Display Adapters > Uninstall Device > Reboot into Safe Mode > Run DDU to completely clean drivers > Reboot with ethernet cable disconnected > Install downloaded driver.

1. Saw somewhere that some people's slow boot problems were fixed by disabling Windows Error Reporting service, so I did that.
2. Ran a CCleaner Registry Cleaner scan, Fixed issues after backing up registry.

After I post this, I'm going to be rebooting my computer multiple times with everything but mouse, keyboard, and one monitor connected and see what happens as I add each component. After that, I'll try booting without my GPU and various RAM modules and see what happens.

edit: Disconnecting USB devices/second monitor had no effect on startup speed. On a whim enabled fast boot, but that didn't do anything, either.

have you tried unplugging all but the boot drive at startup to see if it is maybe one of the other drives slowing you down. my guess would be a hard drive

disabling windows error reporting also means it won't be able to tell you if there is an error. Please enable it again.

Do you have any mapped drives?
