Solved Win 11 is a lot slow at boot time

sbh7600 · Jun 9, 2024

Hi long time no see!

I just made a fresh reinstall of my Win 11. And for some odd reason it is slow as f... when booting. I have never seen this before. The BIOS is in secure boot and CSM is turned off and off Couse I use UEFI - all updates are installed also

And disk 4 is my system disk.

More system info:

Anyone have and idea ?

Open Task manager(shift+ctrl+esc), move to startup apps tab and post the picture like mine.

Check the Startup Apps tab in Task Manager. and disable those that are un-needed at Startup.

I would also install the latest chipset driver from AMD...

You don't really need EDGE or OneDrive starting with Windows.
They will start anyway once you're on the Desktop.

Check Device Manager also. Choose: View > Show Hidden Devices ....and look for any warnings.

Generally slow boots are caused by...
1. Startup items
2. Driver issues
3. Or BIOS settings

I just disabled then before restarting a few seconds ago. That didn't make much of a different in boot time

Install the latest chipset driver from the link above.
And check Device Manager as well.

All in Device manager is all in the green nothing needs to be updated

In Programs & Features, make sure you're on the latest chipset driver...
A lot of the weird stuff Microsoft is doing on Windows 11... "needs" the very latest chipset drivers.
And "AMD" always has the very latest version.

Version 6.02.07.2300

Also... the latest BIOS for your motherboard is 4604...

PRIME B450-PLUS｜Motherboards｜ASUS USA

Experience the cutting-edge PRIME B450-PLUS motherboard, boosting your tech life with unmatched speed, reliability, and stunning visuals.

www.asus.com

It's also one of the things that Microsoft has assumed you're using.

Also... some motherboards like CSM "enabled".. like mine.

Lastly, I would try temporarily, physically unhooking all drives except the Windows drive and seeing if that makes a difference. Some times a weak or dying drive can affect your boot times.

I also have Sleep and Hibernate completely disabled on my computer.
My Windows drive is only a 2.5" SSD, and I can do a complete restart in 39 seconds.

That's all I can think of. If you can tell us where the boot delay seems to occur, that might help.
Like is it at POST, or at the login screen... etc.

I don't run RAID either. I have NO RAID driver installed. And in the BIOS I'm set to AHCI.

In the BIOS, the SATA mode was set to AHCI before I installed Windows.
I believe there's a way to change it after the install as well.

Here's some links with the How-to...

Change From Raid To AHCI

Hi. I would be grateful for advice on how to change the SATA configuration from Raid to AHCI in BIOS. My son has an i5 12th Generation All In One desktop and is configured in Raid mode in the BIOS. It has only 1 SSD Drive. When changing from Raid to AHCI, many online articles say to boot in to...

You need to disable most of the enabled programs, highlight and click "Disabled".

How are you installing Windows 11 are you booting from Windows 11 USB/DVD to clean-install Windows 11?

sbh7600 · Jun 10, 2024

Update -> I found the issue. It was due to a HDD, apparently, when I took the power to that disk. It booted fast. So I deleted the content on the drive 'what I could see' but Win still told me that it was x TB full. So I formatted the disk. And all went smooth from there. And the event viewer is clean Go figure

Thanks to all!
