Well, it's just a bit of interest. I saw on several machines that Windows 1809 starts a touch slower compared to older releases. It doesn't matter whether it's a fresh install or an update—this isn't a major issue. For instance, the 1803 version shows only the beginning of spinning dots, while the 1809 version displays a complete spin. I understand it's not crucial, but I'm wondering if anyone has noticed any minor slowdown during boot on this latest version?

The boot time has actually grown by 1.5 seconds, moving from 1803 to 1809, which suggests the hardware might be different.

Boot duration might be improved. I observed that spinning the dots could speed things up slightly. This is specifically about the initial spinning phase.

It might be anything. We've received Spectre and Meltdown updates since 1803.

I'm used to it, but my old XL2720T still takes a bit of time to start up lol.

I believed 1803 was already resolved. Nice to hear it's confirmed.

Sure, I made sure to clarify the point without adding extra words. The update included some final adjustments before the 1809 patch.

It seems like the issue might be due to minor hardware variations and Windows responding differently. I haven’t observed any major changes, though you might notice slight differences depending on your setup.

My setup takes a lot of time to load beyond just one spin. It includes 4 HDDs, 2 SSDs, an audio card, plus extra SATA/USB PCIe controllers. I typically run around 4 spins, mainly due to the SATA controller. I noticed this on other systems too.
