Now I find it taking about 19 to 26 seconds, Faststart is disabled and
so is hibernation and Hiberfil is uninstalled.
Everything is disabled in Task manager-startup and I have no other

Any hints, or as Paul would say breadcrumbs for me to look at.
This is not a great hardship but makes me wonder what is the cause.

When I see things like this, the first thing I do is check for a failing
hard drive.Â* :-)



Hi Ken, This is booting from and running on a fairly new very fast NVMe
drive, Boot up and all other aspects such as loading programs or doing
backups are all extremely fast.
Reads are about 3500 and writes about 2700 in Crystal Disk6.

Hi, Rene,

New of anything can fail, and few seem to think about the hard drive.
It's just my first step, and my choice of testing platforms is hard
drive testing software.

Still doing good with the monitor changes from a while back?


Yep, monitor adjustments working great Thanks.

By the way I shut down Malwarebytes to see if it was the culprit but
same results.

Checked S.M.A.R.T on NVMe SS drive and everything is 100%, So will wait
and see if anyone has more ideas.
