Hi my w10 boot up takes 10 mins which is very slow even though its on a ssd any one can help with this problem ? i tried all the google suggestions of enable fast bootup and disable fast boot up both does not affect the boot up speed i encounted this problem always after a few months into a fresh reformatting when w10 forces me to update all the new updates.
When i do a fresh reformate the boot up is at most 6 to 10 secs
 
Solution
You should make a new Installer, saves updating windows since they release a new versions every 6 months. Latest came out this week

Download the Windows 10 media creation tool and use it to make a win 10 installer on USB

oldest drivers are from Razer, unlikely to be reason for slow boot off ssd

your installed version of Intel Rapid Storage Tech driver is from 2015, it could be the reason. I don't see it on Asus website. I think you would use the 2nd one here - https://downloadcenter.intel.com/product/55005/Intel-Rapid-Storage-Technology-Intel-RST-
Maybe try to leave more than 15gb free to give it space to move in. It might be fact it gets to 15gb free and starts to slow down then. Odd its only boot times though.

Hope it works out now :)
hmmm normally after reformating the fast boot last for maybe 6 months before the same problem come again anyways i will take your advice and install everything on the hdd and maybe get a new ssd during blackfriday after reformating the daybefore start up is like 5 secs lol but reformating and having to reinstall all my softwares is kind of a pain
