    Slow windows startup on the " Starting Windows Screen "


    Hey guys, as the title says, my windows is taking long to load on the starting windows screen. I have a feeling it is my graphics drivers because ever since i got a new GPU and uninstalled and installed my new drivers it has taken longer to load i've uninstalled and installed again but nothing changed. Since then ive done system scans using Advanced system care and such but nothing has changed still.
    Any suggestions and greatly welcomed, thanks :)

    A long time to boot is a subjective concept, how long does it take to boot? Also, the boot time isn't all that important as long as the system performance is good. I have a laptop with an SSD which boots rather quickly and a PC tower which takes much longer to boot, but both systems perform very quickly once fully up and running.

    I could exactly time how long it was to boot, but from just the windows starting bit it was 80 seconds, which doesn't seem that much but its a lot more considering the speed it was before i had the driver.

    You could try to roll back the driver(s) by going to "Device Manager" and selecting to roll back the driver, if that option is available, or go to the manufacturers site and look for the previous version there, if there is no available roll back.

    Just an FYI; both my systems take as long or longer than your 80 seconds.

    Since the time this has started, the drivers have been updated a couple of times so i doubt i can find the driver. i understand that your systems take the same time its just annoying that it was quick and after the install it was slow, its not a huge problem but it just bugs me i guess.
