Slow Boot PC Fix

Quick fix for slow booting PC.
This works for Asrock motherboards and BIOS/UEFI but might work other boards, too.

The change you need to make is Under the Advanced tab - Legacy USB Support
Change the drop down from 'Enable' to 'UEFI Setup Only'.
You can also choose 'Disable' but that might cause issues using a USB mouse and keyboard before your OS starts.
Save and Exit for the changes to take effect.
Note that you're first boot after making the change might be still be slow.
Give it another restart to check if the issue is fixed.

Thanks to Redditor BeckerThorne for confirming my fix worked for him

[rubber]

You are a god-send. Been having slow boot problems for years now; this helped immensely and immediately

[Piotrekb]

It’s works. Problem was after add another m2 NVMe storage via PCIE while I have one in mobo.

[BeckerThorne]

Thanks for the video and advice! It was a great help and solved my issue.

[AXDYOP]

[abdullahsymun]

Thank you, solve my issue after 6 month

[SolidNate]

I sure hope this helps. My boot is like 10 minutes! WTF! Brand new board and a super badass AMD Ryzen 3900x CPU.

[peterrr__]

awesome bro, fixed my problem here.
tysm!

[JOmaxofficial]

Everything is so complicated now. The saying “ just turn it off and back on” doesn’t work anymore 😢

[Sir-Prizse]

I sometimes have the problem that the PC takes a very long time to post. I press the power button, the fans spin up, the DEBUG LED for RAM and CPU lights up and after 30 seconds the PC starts normally... I have this about once a week.

The PC ran for 4 weeks without problems, just running the RAM at standard clocks now without EXPO and the problem still occurs occasionally.

I have got asrock b550m hdv with ryzen5 5600x . I do not have usb legacy option in my mainboard but after this video i have decided to play with usb config. options. First i disabled all my usb 2.0 and suddenly my boot time dropped to 20seconds

[Mip_tron]

I don't have usb configuration option in my bios, it's Asrock B450M pro 4 R2.0

[bruno]

My Bios desn't even have this option, it's just Enabled, disabled and Auto. I put in Auto and then disabled but nothing changed, my pc still takes about 15 minutes to start. Do you think updating the Bios solve anything? I don't know anymore what to do

[mrepicpanduh]

Damn, I went from anywhere between 45 to 130 seconds all the way down to 16.

[stellar.butterfly]

my issue: i have a quick startup time, 4-5 seconds. it starts with the fans revving up loud and fast, but today when i started it the fans seemed weaker and they seemed to struggle to start
i recently cleaned my pc inside out too, i dont think dust is the issue
please help

[anthonyhershko]

Where can I find it at Gigabyte Z790 AERO G? My bios be restored to the oldest version cause the PC refused to turn on only beeps 5 times. It wasn't the CPU. It was the bios. Since it has been fixed, the post has been taken more than 17 seconds.... Not sure why..

[sohanghosh]

Ryzen 3 3200g
Msi pro vdh max

Ssd nvme 500gb

[monicakalava]

[Alan_YT]

The system falled to boot several times before. You may press F2 or DEL to enter SETUP to reconfigure your system. Or UEFI will continue to boot after 2 seconds.. that's what it says to me

[vandanunesdemenezessantos]

Mine takes more than 15 minutes to start, I don't know why when I had an old PC with XP it turned on 10X faster 😢😭
