[SOLVED] Windows 10 restart and cold boot takes 10 minutes

[nzjiwoo]

Hey all I was wondering if I could get any help with the slow boot on my laptop.

My system specs are i7 7700hq, 8gb ram, laptop gtx 1060, 860 evo 500gb ssd, 1tb hdd and windows 10 1909.

My system boots really slow atm and if it starts from hibernation it is much much faster. The boot will pass the bios fine and then it just sits at the windows symbol with dots spinning in a circle for 10 mins. The ssd was from a desktop pc and it worked fine there so I don't believe it is the problem.

Also when I tried recording a boot trace with the windows performance recorder it would only record for 3 minutes instead of the full 10. I don't really know how to analyse it either so any help would be appreciated.

Here are two of the boot traces I have done below if it help:

2 things
1 What motherboard is it? Or is it a laptop? What make/model laptop?
Have you updated BIOS & Chipset drivers?
2 The google files need to be shared or we can't access them

1 it is a laptop. Specifically this model https://www.monsterlabs.co.kr/m/category/read.html?pn=6088
but the site is in korean.
The company who makes this laptop hasnt released any bios updates for the laptop but I hear that this laptop is made out of clevo laptop parts so I guess I could check what the corresponding clevo model is and check if they have an updated bios.

2 just shared them with you. Didn't know they were private sorry.

Edit: found the equivalent clevo model https://www.gpucheck.com/laptop/clevo--p650/

Thats what I like, someone who helps me help them

So none of the drivers on the clevo site are newer than 2015 so its no help - https://www.clevo.com.tw/en/e-services/download/ftpOut.asp?Lmodel=P65xSE&ltype=9

Try running this on Laptop - https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/detect.html

can you download driver view - all it does is shows what drivers are running on your PC - http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/driverview.html
when you run it, go into view tab and set it to hide all Microsoft drivers - will make list much shorter

Can you take a screenshot of chart showing from (and including) Driver name to (and including) Creation date and I see what drivers we can update. Upload imagge to an image sharing website and show link here

If drivers don't fix, sometimes if PC takes long time to load at startup, it can be waiting for some hardware to reply. Try unplugging any extra USB or other devices.

Hey there did what you told me and I installed updated drivers for the intel graphics drivers and rapid storage technology.

Here's a screenshot of the driver view

Also I have no usb or other devices connected at the moment.

Update: I was trying to turn my windows from legacy boot to uefi boot in the command prompt and couldn't get it working because it was somehow trying to change the hdd instead of the ssd with the windows installed.

Turns out my laptop won't boot without both hdd and ssd installed. So my guess is that somehow the boot partition got on the hdd and windows is on the ssd.

Do you know of any way to move or create a new boot partition on the ssd? I really don't want to reinstall windows because I have some file configurations that I am not too sure of how to move to a new disk.

Update 2: I have managed to boot with just my ssd but it still takes 10 minutes to boot

That is a common problem caused by having 2 drives in PC at same time

Is ssd MBR or GPT? Below creates an EFI for GPT drives.

Boot the computer using the Windows 7/8/8.1/10 installation media.

• On the first screen, press SHIFT+F10 to bring up the command prompt.
• Run the following commands at the command prompt.

diskpart
list disk
select disk # Note: Select the disk where you want to add the EFI System partition.
list partition
select partition # Note: Select the Windows OS partition (# number) or your data partition.
shrink desired=100
create partition efi size=100
format quick fs=fat32
assign letter=s
list partition
list volume Note: Note the volume letter where the Windows OS is installed.
exit

bcdboot X:\windows /s S:
Note: Replace "X" with the volume letter of the Windows OS partition.

BCDBoot copies the boot files from the Windows partition to the EFI System partition and creates the BCD store in the same partition.

Remove the Windows installation media and restart the computer into your BIOS settings and set the SSD as the First Boot Device.
