Windows 10 slow boot time, and Auto sleep mode not operating

[jacobkoll240]

My computer running Windows 10 will not go into sleep mode after being idle for the amount of time set. Also, though I have my OS installed on an SSD, the load times from when the Windows logo appears to my login screen is very slow. Previously my load times had been almost instantaneous on the same SSD.
I recently updated my BIOS, but the issue with auto sleep mode began before the update. The long wait time for Windows seems to have occurred around the same time, but a couple of times after the update, the load time was instantaneous as it was before.

Before I really start digging in, I was hoping for some suggestions, or if anyone has had a similar issue, and has a successful solution.

The hardware in my build is,

MSI x370 SLI Plus MoBo
AMD Ryzen 7 1700 CPU
Gigabyte Windforce Geforce GTX 1060 3G GPU
2 x 8GB 3000MHz Vengeance LPX DDR4 Ram
SandDisk Ultra 3D 1TB SSD


Thank you for any help!

** Update, The Sleep mode is now working after the most recent Windows update, but the boot time is still very slow. **

Disable the Windows 10 Fast Startup... following are instructions to find the setting that's supposed to make Windows Startup faster but instead, disable it. In some cases the setting causes the long boots. I had it enabled and my Windows was booting very slow.. I disabled it and issue solved.

This explains it.

To enable this, follow these steps:
Search for and open “Power options” in the Start Menu.
Click “Choose what the power buttons do” on the left side of the window.
Click “Change settings that are currently unavailable.”
Under “Shutdown settings” make sure “Turn on fast startup” is enabled.

Also check your BIOS settings, and see that the suspension S3 setting is enabled.

Chicano, I tried disabling fast startup in Windows to no avail.

Do you think there could be any chance my GPU would cause this issue?

It is possible.. the video card drivers can cause slow Windows boot... and if you have the GeForce Experience program it can also cause slow Windows boots. Your options are:

1. Booting Windows in "Enable Low Resolution video". If it boots normally, the GPU driver is the cause.
2. Booting in Safe Mode... Safe Mode boots in low resolution video
2. Reinstalling the GPU drivers
3. Updating the GPU drivers
3. Remove the GeForce Experience Program and later reinstall it.
