    SSD slow boot up time


    Hello,
    Recently my computer has been booting up really slow for some reason. It's been taking about 1 minute on average. I have had AHCI turned on since I installed windows and I have enabled TRIM. I have also tried unplugging my Hard drives and just having the SSD plugged in but it is still really slow. The part that takes the longest is the Welcome screen and then sometimes after that it just gives me a black screen with the cursor for about 10 seconds after the welcome screen.
    I benchmarked it using AS SSD benchmark below.

    What can I do?
    Thanks,
    Lachy

    A common reason for slow booting is the system timing out waiting for drivers to load. Boot Logging helps to track which aren't loading, or sometimes the driver requires several tries to load.

    I just tried a clean startup but it took 1 minute and 22 seconds. The black screen was there for about 30 seconds for some reason. What do I do? I'll try the boot logging now and post the results.

    Sometimes its the anti-malware software updating/performing a background scan. It depends what you are using.

    You could also determine if there are any system file corruptions causing the issue:

    1. Click Start
    2. In the search box, type cmd
    3. In the list that appears, right-click on cmd.exe and choose Run as administrator
    4. In the command window that opens, type sfc /scannow and hit enter.

    Report the output from the command window once it finishes.

    I just tried a sfc /scannow but it didn't find any corruptions. I did the boot log with a clean startup and I will put it down below.

    What anti-malware software are you using? Avast?

    Is the system fully encrypted using TrueCrypt?

    Yes I am using Avast.

    Hello,
    Sorry I took so long to reply. I tried a windows update but it failed while configuring. I did the Diskpart thing and have posted what it came up with down below.

    Is this good or bad?
