Hi
I have a pretty standard setup. Relatively new replacement HDD (not SSD) Toshiba 500GB. Not anywhere remotely close to using the full resources or capacities of the unit. I did the reboot test and achieved 114 seconds. The only operation I did not shut down for the test was the free Avast antivirus. Can I further test for what seems to be making startup much slower than it used to be?
Thanks, Bill

Great job. That's pretty darn quick, especially for an Asus Motherboard.

The big difference in reboot time was due to going from a normal boot partition to an EFI boot partition with Comparability Support Module disabled in BIOS. This required upgraded graphics card firmware that supported EFI boot. The handoff from BIOS/EFI to windows is way quicker with EFI.

Hi Everyone,

Just joined this forum and posted a question about slow boot times. I saw this thread and thought I would post my poor time. If anyone has any ideas, please feel free to comment on my question.

46 seconds seemed to be stuck on the bios screen for an extra 10-15 or so seconds never did that before :/
I believe msconfig is on 30 seconds possibly that is effecting reboot more than startup items which there is only 2 Microsoft ones ?

turns out if you have a network drive mapped to a computer that's off, when you log on it waits about 90 seconds

I think I've tried the majority of tweaks to improve the reboot time, but can't seem to get any more out of it than this. Any tips would bee more than welcome.

Does it count the time, including the password-protected Log-on screen at startup as well?

Hi and welcome to SevenForums,
Yea I believe it does it doesn't count how long it takes to enter a password though :/

Been a while since doing this
Probably security/ msi afterburner slowing it down otherwise Acer about the same,
Using msconfig and Boot and changing it to 4 seconds does shave a little off the time,

Asus 1 second longer not bad for all the extra crap on it :)

24 seconds - Total time to power off computer.
12 seconds - Time to load Windows.

Funny!
