Hi guys,

So my laptop just in the last couple days has been lagging pretty badly when it comes to the internet - sites are slow to load (especially tumblr, I have no idea why) and when I play World of Warcraft, I've been getting lag spikes, which has never happened so far on this laptop.   

I downloaded/installed the newest Windows update yesterday, and since then, my bootup time is an excruciating 7.5 minutes.    The weirdest part is that for a good 85% of that time, it's stuck on the ASUS logo screen, without the spinning wheel that shows its trying to boot.   The wheel appears usually 5.5-6 minutes in, and then it boots quite quickly after that.    

I thought it might be the newest update, so I uninstalled that.  I also followed Steps 2 and 3 from this page: https://www.easeus.com/partition-manager-software/how-to-fix-windows-10-slow-boot-after-update.html, which was disabling a bunch of programs at startup (I disabled all high impact ones) and turning off the "Fast startup" power option.   Together, these seem to have improved my boot time *slightly*, it now takes 6.5 minutes, which is obviously still way too long.

I just ran a Malware Bytes scan, and there were 78 "PUP" things... I quarantined them all.  I saved the log, if anyone needs to see it.

Windows seems to run normally after the lengthy boot time, aside from the internet often lagging.  I'm sure this is a computer-specific thing and not my provider because my girlfriend has her laptop running on the same internet and she's not having any problems at all.  

I'm not sure what to do by now and I'm getting frustrated.   I didn't do the other steps on the link above because I didn't really understand what they meant and I didn't want to mess with anything I didn't understand.

My computer specs:
Asus laptop (I'm not sure what model), only a year old
Processor: Intel i5-7300HQ CPU @ 2.50GHz
RAM: 12GB
-64 bit
-Windows 10 Home Edition


I have a question about this:
Excruciatingly slow boot time, internet also lagging badly Lastbi10

In the top corner there, it says "Last BIOS time: 38.5 seconds".  What does that mean?  Does that mean the actual system boot time was only 38.5 seconds?  If so, why is it taking almost 7 minutes for the whole thing to load?



Okay I think that's all I have to say.  Here's my hijackthis log:

Hi @alewiina

Can you please boot Windows 10 into "Safe Mode with Networking" and let us know issue persist.

Can you please check your network card manufacturer website for latest version of the driver.

Its important to install all latest versions of the device drivers for your computer.

How to Boot Windows 10 into Safe Mode

@FreeBooter

Hi Smile...

So I already booted my laptop in safe mode today and it was the same speed.  I just did it again, and again... nearly 7 minutes to boot.   Then nearly 7 minutes to boot AGAIN as I restarted it to go back to normal mode *sigh*

I think I managed to update my network drivers.  Seems like the internet is a bit faster, but it comes and goes sometimes so we'll see if it persists.

The real problem is the boot up times. Sad tearing

Maybe updating to latest version of BIOS firmware will help.

Resetting BIOS to its default setting can also help.

You can also try repair install method of Windows 10. Its simple same as upgrading its called in-place upgrade to start this process launch the Windows 10 Setup.exe file at Installation DVD while Windows 10 running and follow the instructions to upgrade windows 10. Don't worry all your personal files, programs and settings wont get touched.

Please download and run SeaTools for Windows.

Before the installation begins you will be prompted to either Decline or Accept the terms of the installation, click on I Accept.



1. Once the installation begins SeaTools for Windows will search for HDDs and SSDs on your computer.

2. Detected Drives will list the HDDs and SSDs found. Place a check mark in the drive box you want to run the scan on. This should be the drive that has the operating system installed on it, this is usually C: drive.

3. You will see Basic Tests toolbar above Detected Drives, move the mouse pointer over this to open the test options. Please click on Long Generic Test

4. This will start the scan. When the scan is complete you will see the result under Test Status , please post the results in your topic.

5. The test will indicate either Pass or Fail. Post the results of the scan in your topic.

6. Click on Help, then click on View Log File. If the scan failed take a screen shot of the Log File and post it in your topic.

Excruciatingly slow boot time, internet also lagging badly Seatoo10

So, this is what I'm seeing for drives... I dont see anything about a c: drive at all, is this normal?

How do I reset/update BIOS?  I'm not sure what BIOS is, tbh.

Should I try a system restore at some point?

This software does not allow you to just check health and repair errors for partitions this software scans individual hard drives. You have to wait for scan to finish to see if the hard drive is working probably.

Lets not deal with BIOS upgrade as its dangers process but you can reset BIOS to default setting by booting your computer and pressing keyboard key that will launch BIOS setup software. From Boot tab you can reset BIOS.

I need to find out which version of Windows 10 you are using, please press Windows + R keys and type Winver and press OK button.

Doing system restore may resolve your issue if its caused by a single Windows update but even then we need to find out which update that is so it will not install itself again.

Hi, so...

I downloaded the newest windows update from the website, and my computer went through a lengthy installation process...

And yet, when I do the winver thing, it still says it's version 1709.   I noticed that in my sidebar, it says "could not finish installing updates" or something like that.  So I went into the Windows Update section of my computer settings and it says has this:

Excruciatingly slow boot time, internet also lagging badly Window10

I don't know what those bottom two are.  But the first one... 0% downloaded?!  Then what the heck did I download and install?   I'm so confused
