Windows 10 Boot Up too long

<< < (2/3) > >>

Boggin:
I've just checked the status of my Browser service and it isn't there.

A Google found that it is part of SMB1.0 which is no longer used because it is susceptible to malware.

Go Start - type appwiz.cpl and press enter when it comes up.

Click on Turn Windows features on or off then scroll down to see if the box is checked for SMB1.0/CIFS File sharing support.

Mine isn't.

Uncheck yours if it is, click OK and reboot to see if there's any improvement in the boot time.

If there's no change then boot up into Safe Mode with Networking and run a scan with the free ESET Online Scanner.

It may be worth running that anyway and then run a scan with the free AdwCleaner.

Which version of Win 10 are you using ?

Mine is 1909 18363.815

Go Start - type winver and press enter when it comes up.

Hi Tom,
I have the exact same version of win 10 as you. I started up in safe mode and I could do the adwclearner okay, but could not get the
ESET Security to rum. So I am running it now on normal boot up. The security scan did not find anything.

SMB1.0/CIFS File sharing support was not checked.

I'm wondering if there could be an issue with a recent Windows 10 update that is causing the issue. This issue started suddendly a few days ago.

Regards,
Denis

I haven't had any problems since the last updates - this laptop boots up in about 1min 10secs.

Can you go Start - type services and press enter when it comes up and check to see if you have Computer Brower listed.

Its Dependencies are Server and Workstation.

Server should be showing as Running Automatic (Triggered) and Workstation as Running and Automatic.

If they aren't then right click on each and select Properties then use the dropdown to change their status - Apply - OK and reboot to effect.

As this only started a few days ago, check to see if you have any restore points prior to the occurrence, but before you try any, create a Hiren's Boot Disk - use the 15.2 download.

I've had boot problems in the past after using my restore points and have found this boot disk will get Windows back up.

If you don't have any restore points then create a manual one then open a Command Prompt (Admin) and enter these cmds -

sc config Browser start=Demand

shutdown /r /t 00

and see how it boots up.

I haven't tried this cmd on my machine as I don't have any problems.

Hi Tom,

I finally gave up trying to fix my PC after I went back to a restore point and after that I could not even get my computer to boot at all. I took it in for repairs and it turned out the issue was they cleaned and reseated the ram and re-installed Windows. I am in the process of installing my programs. Thanks for the help you did offer.

Denis

If it had been a memory problem, I would have expected other issues but other than the slow boot up, the machine seemed to working fine.

I could be wrong of course.

I've had a no boot on my Win 10 after using a restore point but was able to get the machine to boot using a Hiren's Boot Disk (15.2 version).

I would advise you to create a 15.2 Hiren's Boot Disk should you have similar problems down the line.

I'm surprised they didn't try to do something with your machine to try and recover your personal stuff rather than going straight for a clean install - hope you had that backed up.
