Question Slow start up 70+ seconds

[OnlyAlex]

Hi guys,

My PC has started being incredibly slow when starting up. It jumped from around 12 seconds 15 seconds restarting but from cold boot 40 seconds. Now I have just turned the PC on and it took 70+ seconds from cold boot. How do I work out what's going on to cause this? Something clearly isn't right.

It seems to be when I haven't used it for a day or two then it takes 40 - 70 seconds. I have just restarted the PC and it took 11 seconds which is what it used to be like even from cold boot.

I have an ASUS B350 Plus with a 7 3700x and 980ti. Samsung 850 EVO SSD & KIOXIA Exceria SATA SSD. I just restarted my PC and it only took 11 seconds, which is what even from cold boot it used to be like. Thanks.

When you say you haven't used it for a day or two, is it off, hibernating?

Completely switched off. It also does the same thing if it has been hibernating for a day or so. It seems to be a really slow POST on the ASUS black screen which says UEFI if I don't use the PC for a day. If I turn off the PC and then use it again an hour or so later or restart the start up time is much better at around 11 seconds.

Which drive is your os on, and have you checked the files, drive health? Odd question I know but are your gpu drivers up to date?

GPU drivers up to date. Here's the Disks and Volumes. https://ibb.co/wLGY01w

What kind of programs do you have under startup tab in Windows Task Manager?

I have OneDrive and a brightness app for my monitor enabled and Windows Security, that's it. Did the Disks and Volumes look ok? Thanks for continued help.

The health looks fine for the drives. Do you have fast start enabled in windows?

Yeah I do, tried disabling it before as I know can cause issues but it makes no difference either enabled or disabled unfortunately.

Hi everyone,

I have a PC which I have had since 2015 and it's been fine up until now. It was in Legacy BIOS with TPM and secure boot off and was starting up in around 8 seconds. In order to get ready for Windows 11 the disks were converted to GPT and Windows was installed. BIOS now UEFI and secure boot enabled and TPM on. This is where the problem has started. POST on the PC takes 40 seconds! I have tried everything. Disabling CSM, reinstalling Windows, checking RAM and SSD health, boot manager etc. Everything is working fine. No problems.

When I restart the PC is takes 7/8 seconds, but from cold boot it takes 40 seconds.

The only thing I can think of is the mobo having a glitch or not working properly? I have cleared the CMOS and that did nothing.

Any ideas as giving up with it?

Thanks
