46.5 seconds boot time for CS:GO on Windows 11?
reinstalled windows literally today, fresh drive, fresh OS, and my CS boots in 46 seconds.
while I was on Windows 10 it booted just fine in less than 20 (keep in mind, my OS was contaminated with lots of unneseccary stuff).
any reasonings why it takes this long on win11? thanks.

cpu: i5 10400f
gpu: RX 570 4GB
ram: 16GB DDR4
ssd: SAMSUNG EVO 870 250GB
drive: WD 10EZEX 1TB

it's a stock win11 build, with some bloatware removed manually after installation.

you didn't read the post carefully.
i have installed FRESH windows 11, no modifications, nothing. 159 GB free storage.
my old install of windows 10 (which had a ton of junk) booted up CS:GO faster.

Win 11 has basically the same performance in all tasks including gaming. In some it is very slightly better, in others worse. But not worth mentioning the difference because we talk about neglectable numbers.

Maybe you have not yet put your config or launch options in? Graphics settings the same?

With that setup I hope you play 1280x960 4:3 because it is not a strong build.

Did you install steam/csgo on the samsung ssd or on the western digital hdd?

i've basically restored my old cfg from prev installation.
trust me, the rig of mine can run this game on max settings
running at 1440x1080, all low except for shadows, multisampling aa is on 4x and no uber shaders rn
gets me high fps even though the GPU is bottlenecking.
launch options are the following:
-d3d9ex -novid -nojoy -allow_third_party_software (for OBS and Discord overlay) +fps_max 0 +fps_max_menu 0
and yes it's installed on WD hard drive, bcz i don't want to rack up TBW on my SSD (which is sata3) and i sometimes play even more games.
sidenote, that's the same setup with old win10 install, running CS on hard drive, and it didn't take more than 20 seconds to load up.

You should install csgo on the ssd. It isn't that big and you can install other games on the hdd.

Maybe you even didn't reset the hdd and the game is still downloaded from the windows 10 version. Maybe there is some sort of issue because it is optimized for win10.

I would also clearly not use that resolution. Your spec isn't good enough for that.

-d3d9ex doesn't exist anymore afaik, you can remove that.

Btw, I moved CSGO from SSD to HDD and the only difference I got is longer start up and loading map times. Though with HDD it still tooks seconds, just few more than with SSD.
Everything else is fine. No stutters, no fps drops, nothing else.

SSDs don't improve the performance. Exactly. But the booting speed - and that by a large amount - GTA for example:

The only performance thing next to a faster booting process is that you are more likely to get stutter on HDDs because they run on 100% workload. But that of course does not happen often generally.

there is definitely something wrong your PC, system, drivers or even the build

I have a decent laptop. and CS: GO Takes ~ 5 sec to Load in Win 11

I have zero issues with any game on Win 11

It's not windows 11 but something specific with your PC/Install.

Just timed mine, and it was 24 seconds from clicking launch to being able to interact in the game menus.

Edit, thats with default launch parameters etc.

the resolution doesn't affect my framerates, i actually get pretty high frames with consistent frametimes.
i'll consider reinstalling CS, it'll take me like 40ish mins ig
and no, i didn't format my hdd, because of important data on there.
will remove -d3d9ex, and will tell you the results.
