Windows 10 very slow to load

General Discussion

Hi all,
Today my PC took nearly 3 minutes to load the game after the he equipment configuration. My PC is pretty powerful as it’s an old gaming pc.
Is there an issue with the windows app?
Thanks

There isn’t no.

What’s the spec of the laptop?

Your version of powerful might differ from what’s needed to run Zwift effectively.

Are you using a SSD?

Thanks for replying. The basic spec is, i5-9600k, GTX 1660ti, 16g DDR4 3200 MHZ. Should be powerful enough for Zwift?

Definitely good enough. Assuming you are using solid state storage it should be more than adequate. I have not seen any changes in load time on my machine (Windows 10, i5-12400, GTX 970, rubbish SATA SSD)

Thanks Paul. Yes solid state storage only. 1tr. I only use this machine for Zwift. Took 4.minutes to get started today. Possibly the day before I had a big windows update.

I periodically do a reset of my Win 10 setup. Over time it gradually gets bogged down and that little bit slower.
Simple process provided it’s a Zwift only rig.

But again if you haven’t got an SSD then change to one.
Single most important upgrade you can do.

Yes it’s solid state.

Another recent issue with Zwift comes from using nvidia driver 566.03 so don’t do that, but nobody mentioned load time as a symptom afaik.

Thanks I am aware of the Nvidia issue. Once the pc fired up I had no drops as I was getting with previous driver, 566.03.

I’d advocate a reset if you’ve the confidence.

Does wonders.
