Windows startup requires 30 minutes – unable to reinstall Windows.
My computer needs about 30 minutes to start. I need a way to preserve it. I understand the reason it's running slowly, so I'm looking for a fix. I've tested the software before—tried cloning an SSD, booting on another PC, installing fresh Windows, recreating the boot partition—but each time it still takes too long. I have important files and programs, and I don't want to lose anything. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.
well.. without an in depth look into, for a start, what software is on this thing.. there's zero chance we're gonna come to a solution here. could always just do the usual "i dont know what's wrong" fix: cmd as administrator: sfc /scannow dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth and a disk cleanup after that for good measure.
Since you've already tested another PC, I'm assuming this problem is entirely tied to Windows and occurs after the post. Have you reviewed the Windows system logs from the boot-up process to understand what's happening? Have you attempted to start in safe mode to determine if the issue stems from the Windows installation or an external software component (or a mix of both)? Regardless, your situation clearly highlights the importance of backing up your data.
It's an SSD and I'm loading from it. Startup programs look completely off. @FrowningHippo I didn't review system logs—how can I check? I tested safe mode but speed stayed the same. @manikyath I ran the commands, but still no change. Regarding the software: if I'm correct, it's a dentist app with an X-ray feature that links to an X-ray machine.
If safe mode didn't help, it's likely your Windows setup is damaged. It might be stuck due to a missing component. You can review the Windows Logs by using the search feature on your computer and look for system logs or right-click the Start button and choose logs. Make sure to examine the logs for any errors during startup and note how long they take.
Yes, the event viewer helps you identify issues by displaying system events and logs.
Confirmed. It seems the function isn't directly translated. You need to check the system logs in the Windows folder and apply filters for errors and critical issues.
