    Slow Windows 10 boot up with CrossFire enabled

    I had windows 7 before and now i'm using windows 10. Everything seems fine, but the time it takes to boot windows increased alot. I was trying to find out what the problem was and i found it. It's CrossFire.

    Everything is fine if i do a cold boot. 10 - 15 seconds after i pressed the power button i can see my desktop. If i do a warm boot however, the boot up time increases with 20 seconds. All i see right after the windows logo is a black screen and the mouse cursor. After about 20 seconds i can finally see my desktop. I can fix this problem by disabling CrossFire. Is anyone else having this problem?

    EDIT: i'm using the new 15.7.1 drivers

    I got the exact same issue on a Dual-graphics APU Laptop. Cold boot goes really well, but a restart takes forever. This also occured on Win7 and Catalyst 15.7.

    The only way I could resolve this is by reverting back to an older Driver (13.12 mobile). I hope AMD resolves this.

    What happens if you disable CrossFire?

    Same here and I've noticed that msi won't disable ulsp at last, the second VGA still sleeping on the desktop

    I'll try with that .exe later

    Use the tool do disable ULPS, it worked for me. All I did was disable ULPS in AB then after the reboot I used the tool.

    Just to let you know, new windows 10 build 10525 fix that for me.
    Boot time is now so fast that sound card drivers are delayed, desktop is shown in like 10s.
