I'm having a problem with windows 10 boot times.
I usually had around 5-7 seconds boot (including bios time) but now it takes around 4 minutes while showing me the windows loading screen with the circle spinning.
This problem started today. Yesterday night before I closed the PC I wanted to do a restart because file manager kept crashing, but the restart was taking waaay too long so I just shut it down from the power button and went to sleep.
The next day (today) I opened it and it was fine, but at some point I wanted to watch a movie and vlc (media player) kept crashing so I shut it down and then tried to open it again. But it took way to long to load so I pressed the power button to shut it down again. I did this couple of times because I thought it was stuck in a loop and then an automatic repair appeared were it just showed me a black screen for like 5 minutes. After that I finally got into the setup and tried the repair startup option which didn't succeed and asked me to restore it to a restore point which I tried and also didn't succeed.
So I thought I will let it load and maybe at some point it will boot and it actually did but it took around 4 minutes. I tried to shut it down and open it again to see if it's fixed but almost every time it does about 4 minutes.(some random times it opens quickly, but rarely). I tried booting from a usb (which at first was showing a blue screen for 5 minutes before it goes to the setup screen) and tried the windows repair which didn't work.
Now it doesn't fully boot (stuck on loading screen) even after 15 minutes. Also I can't even fully boot from usb now (I just see a blue screen) even after 10-15 minutes. Could this be the motherboard that makes the problem?

For me it seems hard-disk issues! or missed files If S.M.A.R.T system didn't detect anything then give it a chance and make format, that's the only way that you can know if it's hardware or software issues. – Narzan Q. – 2017-02-19T02:47:29.520
It actually booted up after about an hour and I opened hard disk sentinel and saw that one of my hdd (not my sdd with the OS) is 51% health, so I'm guessing it has something to do with that. I will try unplug that drive and see what happens. – user2975038 – 2017-02-19T02:58:19.523
Don't throw your harddisk away sometimes a deep format or error fixer can solve the problem, maybe it's only bad partition, good luck.. – Narzan Q. – 2017-02-19T03:05:13.223
1Ok so I unpluged the faulty hdd and it worked fine. I will try to fix it and do a backup of my files. thanks :) – user2975038 – 2017-02-19T03:14:23.993
