Windows 10 slow boot
I just installed Windows 10 and see a huge drop off in the boot time and shut down times. I have an i7 laptop with the OS partitioned on a SSD drive. Windows 8.1 would take 10-15 seconds to boot up.
This isnt the case here, right after the logo displays, I get a blank screen for a good minute. The laptop is fine after booting up, no lagging or heating issues so far.
I really don't want to clean install, just because the AMD drivers for my gfx card are a pain in the rear to properly install. Also reading people having this issue even after a clean install.
Anyone else having the same issue?

Use Device Manager to ensure all drivers, especially graphics and chipset, are up-to-date.
Your issue is likely tied to driver initialization, particularly with AMD graphics, or Windows services startup delays. Updating drivers carefully, enabling Fast Startup, and disabling unnecessary startup apps usually help improve boot times.
