Windows 10 slow to boot

Post by jpete15 »

Any guru's want to take a stab at why my Windows 10 boot is taking so long? I configured as recommended from other forum threads: 8 GB RAM and 2 processors.

Windows 10 Guest on Windows 10 Host

Thanks!

During the startup, there is an unusual break of nearly 60 seconds (around 00:00:07). Compare that to the VBox.log files from other runs of the same VM, and if you're having this break regularly, investigate what's going on in your host OS during this time (e.g. virus scan of the VDI file comes to mind).
