![]() ![]() Sorry, my thought train was on the wrong track. It converts a disk from MBR to GPT partitioning without modifying or deleting data on the disk. Run it on the drive to convert, then boot to BIOS and switch from legacy BIOS to UEFI mode, and reboot. To go from legacy BIOS boot to UEFI boot one can use "mbr2gpt to prep Win 10. The driver is already there.Īha! I was thinking about changing from MBR to GPT disk when it's the boot drive to change from legacy BIOS to UEFI boot mode when Disk Management cannot change it, not going from IDE to AHCI. It then becomes installed since it was needed. Windows, upon booting in safe mode, makes the AHCI driver available in case it's needed. All that takes longer to write out than to do on a system.Īfter the system boots in Safe Mode, all you have to do is, NOTHING. Select "startup settings", it will reboot and present you with the menu from which you can choose "4. On the 3rd try, Windows will decide something is wrong since it crashed twice and it will bring up the boot menu options (diagnose, repair, reinstall, enter UEFI, boot from other device, etc). Easiest way to get to safe mode? Let Windows attempt to boot until it crashes (BSOD). Switch the BIOS to AHCI, then boot to Safe Mode. What AHCI fix, specifically? The BIOS normally cannot be switched between AHCI and legacy IDE mode without prepping Windows for the change between modes. Also perhaps an addon is causing the delay - we use digital signing and other software here that integrates into Outlook, and that slows everything down. I suppose it could be possible if they have a large mailbox file/archive that has to be opened every time they open Outlook. Outlook used to load on my Samsung EVO 850 500GB SSD in nine seconds, and it loads in 3 seconds on my new Samsung EVO 970 Plus 500GB NVMe SSD. "Takes around 2 minutes to open Outlook now." This PC is running Windas we haven't rolled out 2004 yet. Takes around 2 minutes to open Outlook now. Performance monitor now shows the drive at 8% maximum during boot and around 1-2% in general use. Replaced the HDD with a crucial MX500 SSD and transferred the OS to the new drive. Took almost 2 hours to load her outlook client each morning. Had this issue on a client PC at my workplace. ![]() Run PerfMon.exe to check for cause of high disk queue length. ![]() Is the version of Windows you are installing a non-pirated version? Just making sure you don't have some wonky download in use. What has the most bytes read/written? What has the most read overall? Written? Total? Your image shows the "Processes with Disk Activity" section. Northlandeng IDK about trying 1909 because this problem existed way back when I bought this thing like a year and a half ago, which I think predated 1909. Also I did try it with Avast installed and deactivated.Ģ300peterw Tried that link, did everything on that list (except ChromeOS) and it didn't have an impact. JonosaurusRex Re-installed windows again, and this time no anti-virus installed. Greggmh123 Resource monitor and Task Manager both show the highest usage apps using 0.1MB/s, so, basically useless. You're my only hope.ĬhellSol Fresh install, yes. I could replace the drive and/or laptop, but at this point, it's a personal battle between me, Windows 10, and my laptop. I spend most of my time booted into Mint, so it's only an issue when I need to use that one Windows application. The fact that this issue does not persist on Linux tells me that it's not a hardware issue. Using the above methods (which I think are pretty thorough), I can find no reason whatsoever for this to be happening. Ran AV scan with Windows Defender, ClamAV, and Avast. Monitored with Task Manager, Resource Monitor, TCP View, Process Explorer (with Virus Total option), and Process Monitor. Set performance settings to highest performance. Installed all Windows updates, and I'm on the latest drivers for my hard disk. I then installed the Seagate utility and used it to scan the disk and confirm that I'm already on the latest firmware. I re-installed Windows 10 (build 2004) onto the other partition, and it's back to 100% disk usage. It's not working in WINE or PlayOnLinux, and it is unusable in VMWare. I need Windows 10 for one particular application, however. I switched to Linux Mint 19 (I'm on 20 now) and what do ya know? It's not running my disk at 100% any more and actually runs fast. I've had the 100% disk usage issue since I got this laptop. ![]()
