well found part of the problem at least, intel 3770k processors don't support virtualization. so even though it's enabled in the bios installing hyper-v causes the system to hang when loading the services after login. uninstalled hyper-v and the 5 min boot time drops back down to under 30 seconds

Greetings MagicAndre I have a toshiba laptop that is about 5 days old. On every 4th or 5th boot the computer will hang at boot for about 15mins. I disabled fast boot and this didn't do any difference. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/28370259/summary_boot.xml is a link to my Summaryboot.xml file. could you please read it and see if you can see what is causing it?

Many Thanks in advance, Ben

PreSMSS is slow:

interval name="PreSMSS" startTime="0" endTime="707772" duration="707772">
- <phase name="bootStart" startTime="64" endTime="706787" duration="706723">  <pnpObject name="PCI\VEN_8086+DEV_8C03+SUBSYS_FA401179+REV_04\3+11583659+1+FA" type="Device" activity="Enum" startTime="690" endTime="96737" duration="96047" prePendTime="96047" /> 

VEN_8086+DEV_8C03 = Intel SATA controller.

Install the latest Intel driver:

Good news Installed the updated driver. It still was very slow to boot but it was faster.

I then found the log file for the Inter storage driver, it stated that it was unable to set current power management settings in drive which stopped it from allowing the disk to operate at full speed. I disabled power management for the hard drive and now it starts within 20 seconds.

Thanks for the advice and help MagicAndre.

Cheers, Ben

Thanks for replying, Andre. But now, I want to know if it is a bad idea when we don't let the hard disk sleep or rest at all! Will the disablement of the power reduce the durability of a hard disk? Power consumption is less important to me btw.
