Windows 10 [Did you upgrade?]

[Sensual]

words

I did a clean install as in no programs, no personal data or anything left behind, wiped the whole partition. I do have bitdefender, but i made sure to disable windows defender, i'll try unninstalling it to see how it goes. Still dont think that would affect the inital boot.

Did you defrag after the upgrade?

No need to defrag after formatting, there's just a bunch of nothing to re-organize

While it wouldn't affect the 1st boot after install, the first boot will be the time Windows is installing and updating drivers from Windows Update. After i installed, i watch as Windows Explorer (For those that don't know explorer.exe is what gives you your desktop interface) kept restarting over and over. Then upon investigation found it was installing video and motherboard drivers. After about 20 minutes it was finished and the subsequent boots went much faster.

And for those complaining about the "auto updates" In the "Search the web and Windows" bar at the bottom type "Windows Update" Choose advanced settings from the search result and disable them there. If you feel that is not enough let me know and i can point you to the registry edit that completely disables all updates and the interface for them.

@Asteria,

You can delay automatic updates at least with any version*but* home.

There is no turning them off, or manual like before. Not if you want to keep security updates, because they will shut yours off eventually.

Or you can type "services" without quotes in the Search the Web and Windows Bar. Click on the first search result that says "Services Desktop App"
Scroll Down to Windows Update Double click on it. Drop down menu set to Disable Then click Stop service

Restart the computer. It will no longer check, download, or install updates (any updates ready to install prior to performing the steps above will install)
To prevent those from installing, or to roll back the install use this tool provided by Microsoft
