Just for my information, was this a PC from an update from a previous version of Windows, or has it always ran W10?
And was it good before?
Please continue the tests of Kemical.

How does it run once it finishes booting? If it's always slow that could be a sign of a failing hard drive. If only the boot process is slow then a boot log would be helpful.

  • Download Process Monitor - Windows Sysinternals
  • Launch procmon with the default filter
  • Click on Options > Enable Boot Logging
  • Reboot and immediately launch procmon again this should collect the boot logs
  • Save and upload the PML file somewhere (It will be a large file)

Yes, i had win 8.1 but i installed win 10 via the update. The issue is, i cant seem to remember if slow right after win 10 update or if it was gradual... Sent from my SM-S920L using Tapatalk

And maybe you should check whether there is W10 support for your computer on the website of the manufacturer, you may need the drivers..

You sorted the Task manager view on Name, please click on 'Disk' (top of 4th column) to see what really eats up your disk. And it may be or may not be the cause of your slow booting problem.

And let it go for say half an hour, it may be some system task, like reordering, malware check, which needs to compleet.

Did you install all W10 drivers from the HP support page? Did it help?

Could you give us your system spec's, that may be helpful.

Did anything show up in the logs which Neemobeer suggested?

Task manager doesn't always list everything for the disk usage. Procexp would give you a more accurate view. Also it depends at which points of the boot process are slow. If it's before it gets to the login screen it can be services or more likely drivers loading which the boot log would help better identify

Thats what i forgot was the boot logs. Im just confused to see why it says disk is 99% full when in "this pc" the drive reports like 75% full Ill look at the disk option again and sort by usage, not name. Haha Thanks guys Sent from my SM-S920L using Tapatalk

Thats Disk I/O, it doesn't have to do with disk space.

Ohh, that makes s3nse. However, when i sorted by size today, the largest one was firefox at 1.03mb and then the other 4 were below 0.5mb and then the rest were 0. It still seems odd to have it at 99% with only firefox usin 1.0x mb haha Sent from my SM-S920L using Tapatalk

I believe task manager only shows a processes main thread so you won't see all the IO on a per process basis.
