Restart time Taking way too long on NVMe SSD

[SGiri]

Hi,

Recently I have noticed that whenever I restart my laptop, it takes forever for it to complete the restart process.

Earlier it only used to take about 10 to 15 seconds to restart but now it is taking more than 4 minutes (Yes 4 Minutes to restart on an NVMe SSD).

Can someone please give me a solution to this problem ?

Welcome to the HP Support Community!

I have gone through your Post and would like to help. I see you are experiencing issues with the HP Pavilion Gaming Laptop taking too long to complete the restart process. 

I have a few recommendations: 

• Update your Notebook computer to latest BIOS from HP.COM.
• Make sure the Windows and HP support assistant updates are up to date. 
• Turn on Fast Startup via the Control Panel's power settings. 
• Press Win + R to open Run.
• Type control and click OK to open the Control Panel.
• Go to System and Security and then click on Power Options.
• In the left pane, click on Choose what the power buttons do.
• Next, click the Change settings that are currently unavailable link.
• Under the Shutdown settings section, check the Turn on fast startup (recommended) option to turn on the feature.
• Uncheck the Turn on fast startup option to turn it off.
• Click Save changes to apply the changes.

Hope this helps! Let me know how it goes.

This is new g8 650 ProBook I got from my company 3E2L6UT#ABA.

It was upgraded to Windows 11.

Not sure if the issue existed in Windows 10.

It is Windows enterprise version and bitlocker is on.

I updated bios to latest and it did not help.

Otherwise the laptop works OK.

Any feedback?

This is really annoying.
