Win10 upgrade from Win 7 - Slow booting

I was forced into upgrading an windows 7 ultimate system to Windows 10 pro. Prior to the upgrade I removed the AV suite, uninstalled any application which could have issues and ran a registry cleaner and a defrag. The upgrade went smoothly, some drivers were needed to be added manually, but overall there were no major issues - except the enormously slow booting (10-15 minutes and then another 5 before it settles enough to use).

Hardware
AMD FX 8350 8 core processor
32GB memory
Radeon RX 550TX
Gigabyte ga-970a-d3p


I've cleared out startup apps, expanded virtual memory and ensured that my hardware drivers are correct. The slow boot is still happening. Nothing seems to help.

I've found more than a few similar issues online. Are there any recommendation or common solutions I can make use of to fix this issue.

The most common recommendation will be to get a SSD. Years ago computers had only about 8 MB of main memory (MB not GB) that supported many users and large companies. These days software grows to fill available memory and processing capability. It might be that Windows 10 performance requires a SSD.

Hello,
No easy answers to this type of issues,

You probably need to use WPA( Windows Performance Analyzer) to troubleshoot your issue.

there were a number of blogs written on this,

Use this query to find those blogs.

You can also use SBSL ( Slow boot Slow Logon) to query on, that was the tag used to identify content around scenario where machines had delays with slow boots or Slow Logons ( including slow to the desktop availability.

@AllanJAshinoff-5533
Hi,

As some users mentioned, I'd like to say that upgrading the system disk to SSD is the most effective way to speed up your computer.

You can also follow the guide below to make some fixes:
Full Guide to Fix Windows 10 Slow Boot After Update
https://www.easeus.com/computer-instruction/how-to-fix-windows-10-slow-boot-after-update.html

If none of these methods have any obvious effect, then switching to an SSD is a good choice, and the effect is immediate.

Hope above information can help you.

Hello, Thank you for the information provided. The system already has a primary SSD drive and a smaller secondary drive for data. Much of what that link contains I've tried and/or is a in the above advice. Even so, there may be something I missed or went about in a different way. I'll revisit that system today and let everyone here know the results.

Thank you

Hello, Thank you for the information provided. The system already has a primary SSD drive and a smaller secondary drive for data.

I followed what you sent, a few were redundant, but I hadn't run the Driver Verifier, After running the Driver Verifier the boot time went from 15-20 minutes to roughly 7 minutes. While its still an obnoxious amount of time it's much better than before. I'm going to run through SCF and DSIM again now that the drivers have been verified to see if I can pickup some more speed when booting,

I'll see about collecting some screen shots after I run those utilities again.

Thank you
