Yes I have an ssd with win 10 installed on it, I used to boot in like 5-6 seconds but now it takes up to 40. of my drivers are updated and the only thing on startup is discord... what am I supposed to do?

that okay, I have had plenty of distractions this week (gpu died on Monday)

Do you have latest bios?

Its not that I don't believe you about drivers but its always good to check
Can you download and run Driverview - http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/driverview.html
All it does is looks at drivers installed; it won't install any

When you run it, go into view tab and set it to hide all Microsoft drivers, will make list shorter.

Now its up to you, you can look through the drivers and try to find old drivers, or you can take a screenshot from (and including)Driver name to (and including)Creation date.

upload it to an image sharing website and show link here

All I would do is look at driver versions (or dates if you...

do you have auto logon setup on user or need to enter password? My startup time is about 40 seconds on ssd...

what are specs of the pc?

40 seconds isn't slow... i helped a guy whose PC took 1 hour to startup. That is slow. it is all relative really.

All I would do is look at driver versions (or dates if you lucky to have any) to see what might have newer versions.

40 seconds is what I get on my ssd but then current system is only a Z97 with a 4690k. Yours should boot a little faster.

where is it slow? POST or after windows has control? before or after logon screen?

it takes a lot of time to get to the motherboard logo or whatever you wanna call it, I used to get to the desktop in like 5 seconds so it kinda worries me, here is the screenshot of what you asked:

no old drivers there, 99% are from 2020.

So its slow at the post stage? Cause the logo is right at startup, before windows even gets involved.
What motherboard is this? I can't see any of the drivers I associate with say Gigabyte or Asus
What are exact specs?

brand names? I mean, I can guess who made the Ryzen :)
CPU: Ryzen 3900X
Mobo?
GPU: what make?
Ram 32gb who from? what are the model numbers?
SSD: kingston A400 480gb
PSU?
anything else?

its odd your bios has a choice for legacy and Legacy & UEFI but not one for UEFI only...

if its slow at startup before windows, try disconnecting any extra devices apart from mouse/kb. It could mean something isn't responding right away to PC.

I just checked, I was wrong,I have UFEI or UFEI+legacy,

MB:MSI B450M mortar titanium
the gpu brand is gigabyte, its the oc edition with two fans.
32 gigs of ram(2x16 3200mhz) i found it on amazon:https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-CMW3...1&sr=1-1-791c2399-d602-4248-afbb-8a79de2d236f
psu: antec NeoECO 650W bronze(it's a semi modular psu)
and that's it.

that makes more sense.

from what i can find on that PSU its actually made by seasonic and sold under antecs name. That is generally a good thing. Seasonic make very few bad PSU.
ok, yes, i have seen that ram... its in my next build lol.

So nothing else attached?

So you can't test the mb or PSU easily so we could check the health of rest of hardware.
can use this to check health of ssd and update firmware - https://www.kingston.com/en/support/technical/ssdmanager

It doesn't feel like a ram problem was they are usually more random... but just in case.

Try running memtest86 on each of your ram sticks, one stick at a time, up to 4 passes. Only error count you want is 0, any higher could be cause of the problem. Remove/replace ram sticks with errors. Memtest is created as a bootable USB so that you don’t need windows to run it

I doubt its the CPU as PC would have more than just a slow startup if so.

to remove mouse/kb from list of potential problems, just start PC without them attached.. same for any speakers you may have. Anything extra really.

I didn't mention it but my ram can't get to 3200mhz, it's on 3133 rn, I tried setting it 3200mhz a couple of times and I just get a boot failure message. and I ran the kingston ssdmanager, it says that no firmware is needed and that my ssd's are healthy(I have two A400 480gb) one of them is 89% and the other is 100%, is that like their health bar or what lol.

i'll run memetest as soon I can and I will update this comment.
