Slow to Boot
Slow to Boot
I've searched around a bit and found a few mostly similar cases to mine, and when I've gone through the troubleshooting suggestions none of them have worked. My home built PC has been booting slower than normal for some time now. It's gone from booting in maybe 10 seconds to 2 or 3 minutes. The inconvenience has been fine because my PC operates perfectly beyond that, but it's been bugging me that there might be something deeper wrong. It all started when I removed my WiFi card, "realtek gaming family controller 2.5gbe", as it's performance was quite poor so I switched to my USB. I have uninstalled the driver for this card since then and that didn't change anything. I've performed every check from the following sources: Question - BOOTLOG_NOT LOADED dxkrnl.sys I am using windows 10 and I re-installed windows just few months ago.

Update your post with complete hardware details and full operating system information.
Specify the disk drive specifications, including make, model, capacity, and current usage.
Inquire whether the system will boot into Safe Mode and if any issues arise afterward.
Suggest running "dism" and "sfc /scannow" to detect and resolve corrupted files.

I didn't remove the driver from Device Manager as I found it wasn't the correct method. I've received instructions from Microsoft to follow those steps first before trying this, thank you.
Solved. Even though I was among the first attempts, I didn't handle it correctly. I double-checked if the GPU was properly seated and immediately noticed that it wasn't connected on one side. It seems I need to improve my checking skills or there might be an issue with the connection (more likely the first). Now it's fixed. Thanks for your help.
