Windows 10 takes over 5 minutes to boot

Hi,
For some reason, over the last two days, my Windows 10 is taking over five minutes to boot. I have run the tweaking windows repair tool twice, but I still have this issue. I have done the repair in safe mode both times. I have also updated tweaking to the latest version.

Can someone help me solve this issue please?

Have you downloaded anything recently ?

Right click on the taskbar and select Task Manager.

If you just get a small window with More details showing in the bottom left corner, then click on it and then on Startup.

This will show you what programs are loaded as you switch on and you can disable anything that shows as Medium or High.

Reboot to see if there's any improvement if that applies.

Right click on the Start button and select Command Prompt (admin) and enter -

powercfg -h off

exit

Then Shutdown

Switch back on after about 20secs then open the Command Prompt (Admin) again and enter

powercfg -h on

exit

Right click on the Start button and select Power Options - Choose what the closing the lid does then on Change settings that are currently unavailable and ensure that Fast Start is checked - Save - Shutdown again for about 20secs then switch back on to see if there's any improvement.

I have the bootmenupolicy set to legacy with Fast Start unchecked so that when mine boots up, I still get the F2 and F12 options on the screen, but it still boots up in 1min 5 secs.

With the bootmenupolicy set to Standard and Fast Start checked it will boot up in 25 - 30secs.

Hi again Boggin,

I followed your instructions, but it did not improve my boot time. I timed it and it took 5 min 45 sec to get to the login screen. There was nothing unusual in the start up. I am at a loss as to what to do to rectify this.

Hi Boggin,

I do not know what happened, but somehow my computer has has a miraculous recovery after a power supply cut. The computer booted up in 20 secs.
