| 1423154 | 2016-07-15 11:33:00 | Hi, I have just upgraded my Win 7 netbook to Windows 10 and booting up now takes 3 minutes instead of less than 60 seconds as it used to . I have tried disabling the EnableULPS setting in the registry and disabled the graphics card to no effect . After a bit more searching I disabled Windows 10's fast start-up feature, rebooted and then enabled it again and now the boot up has reduced to a respectable 30 seconds . Whilst I am pleased with this result I am not too sure that I like the system being put into a hibernation state - I would prefer to have the same boot up time as previously without having fast start-up enabled . My question is would it make any difference if I did a clean install of Windows 10? I hesitate to do this as I don't have and don't want to pay for a utility to clone my hard drive as a back up in case of issues . Any advice or suggestions would be welcome . |

Things dont work. The main prob, was installing updates in Win10. It got so far and failed Is the hdd a hdd or an SSD? |

Hard drive is non-SSD. |

| 1423159 | 2016-07-16 07:53:00 | Clean install will not make any difference to the slow booting, that is why they introduced 'fast boot' which is a semi Hibernation, does not save your work or settings, just the system files. I turn off the fast boot and use hibernation instead. I found that the 'fast boot' interfered with dual booting to Linux. Windows 7 is definitely faster booting than Windows 10. Maybe we should uninstall all the unused garbage that is included. I can see a 'Tiny Windows 10' being produced in the near future. | mzee (3324) | ||

Most of the slowdown is Disk Usage maxing out no matter how much power you have. If you open task manager with Notifications on sometimes on startup the Disk usage shows as 90% + disable them and it drops to 0 to 1-5 % With a bit of changing settings W10 will blow W7 out the water in start up times. :D It also depends on how much crap is loading from other programs as well, Eg, Adobe, Skype, Chrome just to name a few. |

Turning off those settings has made a bit of difference, thanks, but Fast Boot still has the fastest boot up time. The netbook doesn't have skype or chrome and it only has Adobe's flashplayer not the reader. I am keen to do a clean install for a fresh start but only have a recovery partition, not an installation disc. I am not quite sure how to get access to the drivers, eg motherboard, graphics card etc to reinstall. |
