Troubleshoot Slow Bootup After Installing "The August Updates"

[King Alpha]

Hey guys, I'm having a slow bootup again after installing the latest windows updates. The black screen takes 1min to 1min and 30 secs. I can't use the system restore now because the recent system restore was made two days after I installed the updates. Thanks in advance guys!

As I can see you are using Windows 8.1;you can rollback the update by the uninstall menu------ installed windows updates.But please cross-check your friends who are using the same version of Windows OS..................

How?

How?

RIght-click in the bottom left corner of your screen and select "Control Panel". From there, click on "System and Security", and pick "Windows Updates". In the bottom left-corner, you'll see "Show installed updates". Click on that, and let the updates load. If you right-click on an update, or double-click it, you'll uninstall it.

Uninstall the KB2982791 update and see if you still have a slow boot time.

I had an unbootable system after installing updates too, however, the update was my last restore point so I went through via System Repair.

How?

Go to the uninstall menu and click on this

and then uninstall.......
Do a system restore before trying it...............

Thanks a lot @Aura! I really appreciate it. The black screen trimmed down to 30+ secs. But the normal black screen time for my PC is just 20+ secs (Before installing the latest windows updates). Should I uninstall the other updates?

There was 3 Updates (KB) in total to uninstall if I remember correctly, want me to find them for you ?

I had this problem too, I couldn't find a fix and ended up having to re-install Windows. I also updated my BIOS to one with Windows 8 support, I don't know if that helped. I rebooted my PC in between each driver and batch of Windows updates to make sure it was still booting quickly and to find out what was causing it but it didn't happen after the second time I re-installed. The only thing I did differently this time was use avast! instead of 360 Total Security. I don't know if that is related.

Edit: Doesn't seem to be, I went back to 360 TS and everything still works fine.
