Windows 10 takes 35 minutes to boot

Question

All kinds of dism /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth, sfc /scannow have done. Everything is perfect.

I am not sure when it started, but it has happened on more than one computer. Different configurations.

To isolate the hardware, I had to convert the operating system to a virtual machine - same story. The virtual machine is on another computer.

By the way, on the machines where all this nonsense is happening, is an ssd drive. I can tell from the i/o diode that there is minimal access to the disk. The coolers don't make much noise. Under vmware (where I moved the sick guy to) I can see that there is no load on the processor or the disk.

The system is just "waiting" for something during all this time, and then sharply and quickly loads, (the stage of loading the profile) after these 35 minutes.

Reinstalling the system is expensive, because the computer is required to run smoothly. In addition to installing different bank client softin, is a licensed software, which is re-activated very expensive - a long procedure.

Virtual machine has removed, because it worked off its tests.

Who can give me advice on how to switch to verbose mode, like under mac os? Well, or see some sort of boot log, like through the console app (mac os). Similar to dmesg etc.

I've never seen such a long boot, even on win95 (not osr2), although there the system was fast and on dx4 100, with 500 mb disk. It was booting through dos, of course, and there was nothing to boot to. even win2k, if you take it with a small amount of RAM. Long, but not 35 minutes on an ssd, with 32 gigs of memory.

If I wrote something unnecessary, ready to delete. Just need to address the issue. It is now three years old. No way to reinstall the system.

Have you contacted the software vendor and asked them if they have other customers that have experienced the same problem? That software may install some low-level driver for security purposes that is causing the delay.

Are you using any specialized security software like McAfee HIPS?

Build a new VM and install all Windows updates. Verify that it boots normally. Then install application software one by one and reboot in between each install. See if you can isolate the problem to the install of some software.

And the question came even before the installation of this banking software.

And there is another computer with only windows, fastone viewer, chrome.
There's a similar problem there. It takes time to load - I didn't count. But I can say for sure that I can go down to the cafe, buy something to eat there, go upstairs and watch the loading for 10 minutes. And the same - the drive at this point is not particularly rustling - there's the usual hdd. The system was working fine for a year, but recently the problem started. Plus, on top of all this, the person in the domain controller. No administrative privileges.
The man works in the terminal (rdp). There to do the reinstallation is not a problem, but I also want to understand how to solve such problems.

I did that. There is no problem. This point is isolated.

Answer 3

You can do what you want, but I think that if this were my problem, I would first build a new VM and get it all patched up to verify that there isn't something inherently wrong with the VMWare host or disk subsystem. That VM could also serve as a baseline to compare against the problem system.

Next I would compare the .vmx files of both machines, or use the Hardware tab on the VM settings GUI, to see there was anything that looked strange. I run VMWare Workstation

Then open an admin command prompt and run these 2 commands.

set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1
devmgmt

In device manager, under the View menu select Show Hidden Devices. Then go through the list and see if you can find a device that might be related to the old hardware and is no longer present. Right click and delete the device.

Here I have a VM that I moved from an old laptop to my new one. It still shows the old processors.

Compare against the baseline VM and see if you identify some device that might cause the boot hang.

Answer 4

"set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1"

Oh, it's an ancient moment))) nostalgia)

It was possible to do so since xp, or even earlier)

There is a text file with this command from a long time ago in my files)

Unfortunately it displayed the hidden/inactive drivers too. And delete it. Did not talk about it, but did it.;(
