Long Boot Time
Greetings All,
I've had long boot time for a couple of days now. It jumped from ~2minutes to 40~ minutes. Firstly, it got stuck at the initial logo screen where it shows the choice of advanced boot menu and also BIOS for about 20 minutes, then it got stuck at "Windows Loading" for another 20 minutes before bringing me to the login screen. I am able to access BIOS or advanced boot menu for the first 3-5 seconds, failing to choose an option within that timeframe will freeze my PC for 20 minutes.
I've tried Startup Repairs, booting into safe mode, running chkdsk, sfc /scannow but it's not working at all. Prior to this, i have issues with my HDD and it has been prompting disk write error and such. If my laptop is on for a long period of time, i won't be able to install or download any stuffs as there are no "available" storage when it's not true.
Below are my diagnostic performance from Event Viewer:
I am aware that it is most probably the issue with my HDD, but i am not willing to change as my laptop is at least 5 years old and i am looking to buy a new desktop a couple of months from now, but i need a temporary workstation for me to continue doing my stuffs. Any experts on this, please kindly advise. I'll be happy and willing to provide more technical details regarding my laptop.Code:<Event xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/win/2004/08/events/event"> - <System> <Provider Name="Microsoft-Windows-Diagnostics-Performance" Guid="{CFC18EC0-96B1-4EBA-961B-622CAEE05B0A}" /> <EventID>100</EventID> <Version>2</Version> <Level>2</Level> <Task>4002</Task> <Opcode>34</Opcode> <Keywords>0x8000000000010000</Keywords> <TimeCreated SystemTime="2017-03-27T10:41:09.420375400Z" /> <EventRecordID>11162</EventRecordID> <Correlation ActivityID="{C2586364-CDE7-0001-C581-127FE3A6D201}" /> <Execution ProcessID="1748" ThreadID="3980" /> <Channel>Microsoft-Windows-Diagnostics-Performance/Operational</Channel> <Computer>RP123660.rp.edu.sg</Computer> <Security UserID="S-1-5-19" /> </System> - <EventData> <Data Name="BootTsVersion">2</Data> <Data Name="BootStartTime">2017-03-27T10:18:36.687200400Z</Data> <Data Name="BootEndTime">2017-03-27T10:41:05.863569100Z</Data> <Data Name="SystemBootInstance">865</Data> <Data Name="UserBootInstance">544</Data> <Data Name="BootTime">55348</Data> <Data Name="MainPathBootTime">24148</Data> <Data Name="BootKernelInitTime">27</Data> <Data Name="BootDriverInitTime">1470</Data> <Data Name="BootDevicesInitTime">4427</Data> <Data Name="BootPrefetchInitTime">44886</Data> <Data Name="BootPrefetchBytes">369926144</Data> <Data Name="BootAutoChkTime">0</Data> <Data Name="BootSmssInitTime">10253</Data> <Data Name="BootCriticalServicesInitTime">388</Data> <Data Name="BootUserProfileProcessingTime">2059</Data> <Data Name="BootMachineProfileProcessingTime">313</Data> <Data Name="BootExplorerInitTime">869</Data> <Data Name="BootNumStartupApps">4</Data> <Data Name="BootPostBootTime">31200</Data> <Data Name="BootIsRebootAfterInstall">false</Data> <Data Name="BootRootCauseStepImprovementBits">0</Data> <Data Name="BootRootCauseGradualImprovementBits">0</Data> <Data Name="BootRootCauseStepDegradationBits">0</Data> <Data Name="BootRootCauseGradualDegradationBits">0</Data> <Data Name="BootIsDegradation">false</Data> <Data Name="BootIsStepDegradation">false</Data> <Data Name="BootIsGradualDegradation">false</Data> <Data Name="BootImprovementDelta">0</Data> <Data Name="BootDegradationDelta">0</Data> <Data Name="BootIsRootCauseIdentified">false</Data> <Data Name="OSLoaderDuration">1495793</Data> <Data Name="BootPNPInitStartTimeMS">27</Data> <Data Name="BootPNPInitDuration">4464</Data> <Data Name="OtherKernelInitDuration">768</Data> <Data Name="SystemPNPInitStartTimeMS">4935</Data> <Data Name="SystemPNPInitDuration">1433</Data> <Data Name="SessionInitStartTimeMS">6666</Data> <Data Name="Session0InitDuration">5479</Data> <Data Name="Session1InitDuration">509</Data> <Data Name="SessionInitOtherDuration">4265</Data> <Data Name="WinLogonStartTimeMS">16920</Data> <Data Name="OtherLogonInitActivityDuration">3986</Data> <Data Name="UserLogonWaitDuration">1234926</Data>
