Alienware 17 R3 Windows 10 SSD Slow Boot Time
When I first installed laptop turned on in 10 seconds now it is taking about a minute to get to the Windows 10 desktop a month later
I turn it on have the Alienware logo with loading circle then it goes black and loading circle comes back again then the Windows 10 sign in option
I have disabled start up programs, defraged the drive, updated to the latest BIOS but cannot work out why it has gone from being so fast to a really slow boot now
I have a Samsung CM871 M.2.2280 128GB SSD

Hi,
Try a complete clean boot, click here to view a Dell article that explains how to do it.
Also, there is a known issue with this model and the Free Fall Sensor driver. Open Device Manager and disable the kionix free fall sensor (Restart required). You should notice an improvement after this.

Uninstalled Kionix and did that in msconfig but still the same problem
