I have you installed any new updates/software or made any other changes?  Take a look at Task Manager>Start-up and see if there is anything starting that shows as having a High impact on start up.

Start-up looks pretty clean and looks like you've already disabled stuff you don't need so all good there.  Take a look under the Action Centre (Left click the flag icon in the taskbar and click "Action Centre") and expand Maintenance and view the reliability monitor is there any drivers/programmes that might not be shutting down properly that would stop hybrid boot from loading correctly at start-up? Also it's worth looking in the event viewer to see if anything is being flagged there.

 

I recall a while ago a similar issue I had with Cisco Anyconnect stopping my PC from shutting down correctly and then doing a full boot when I next turned it on, an update was released to fix that particular issue.

That's not the windows I was referring to, within Action Centre under the maintenance section is an option view the reliability monitor.  You can also type "Reliability" in to the Start screen and it will appear under options which should give you more information.

If the beta's don't work i would look to uninstall everything ATI, reboot and then run Driver Fusion to remove any remnants of the ATI software and then reinstall the latest full release again.  Fingers crossed it's something as simple as a bad driver.

OK I'm now seeing "The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly." despte having no power issues.

 

That would suggest something still isn't shutting down cleanly, most likely something timing out.  If the Reliability Monitor still isn't showing other errors I would still look at the ATI drivers and do as I suggested in my previous post and do a clean install of the ATI drivers.  The ATI un-installer isn't very good and is well known for leaving remnants behind that could well be causing your issues.  Also check Windows Update for .Net updates as this is used by features within the ATI software.  Another source of information would be the event viewer (Start+X>Event Viewer) and look under the Application and System logs for errors around the time you shut the machine down.

Start up looks clean?!

 

It's a mess, IMO

 

NONE of those items would be automatically starting on my machines, and I've NEVER had an issue disabling them all!

 

Never had a computer with that delayed launcher thing though, so not positive about that, but if it's from Intel, I bet you can disable that junk also!

A mess?  Compared to most I've seen his start-up is relatively light, sure you could go through the registry and remove the start up entries but to what end it does the same job and is easier for non-IT people.  You are right that a lot of the Intel stuff can be removed, but with a relatively modern PC there is no need unless it's causing a particular issue.  Either way it's unlikely anything in his start-up is causing his issues with boot as they would have been there prior to this issue.

I delete those startup entries using ccleaner rather than just keeping them in Disabled state.

Between can you open your Service Manager and post screenshot of what services are getting started "Auto"

 

I would but there are more than will fit on a  screendump. :(

    • UK funds £60M AI labs to challenge US tech dominance with open-source models by Paul Hill The UK government has awarded £60 million to Oxford University and University College London to help keep the country in the AI race by focusing on open-source, low-hardware alternatives. This is in stark contrast to the expensive, closed-source, and high-hardware-requirement models being created in the United States and elsewhere. The money will be shared among two new academic research labs over six years to help them redesign the fundamental mathematics and architectures of AI to help the UK reduce its reliance on a handful of US tech firms. Commenting on the development, AI Minister Kanishka Narayan said: Initially, the government planned to fund just one lab with a £40 million investment, but with this update, two labs will now get access to a larger pool of funds. The labs are expected to invest in the top AI researchers at every career stage, with £2 million per lab being set aside for hiring at least ten doctoral students. The government hopes that this will grow the UK’s talent in the field of AI. The labs are also expected to work closely with the leaders in British AI research, such as the Alan Turing Institute and UKRI’s AI research hubs. This will allow the various teams to collaborate and create new solutions faster than they could alone. This development is pretty interesting for a number of reasons, chiefly that it could create a long-term challenge for US tech firms if these labs successfully scale these open-source architectures that bypass the proprietary ecosystems. It could also give British businesses and public sector organizations access to AI features without paying high licensing fees to foreign providers or needing to invest in specialized server infrastructure.
    • If I were them, I'm gonna hold out until the prices of these semiconductor parts normalize. $1,049 for a ~5 year old hardware is DoA, more so for gamers. On a deeper note, if Steam Machine is priced like this, we are soo effed up for the next gen Xbox console and PS6. With great AAA titles releasing at the end of the year, this just creates more demand...and more tears for me. Lol.
    • I suspect one reason its hard to justify subsidising is that it's not a locked down device like a traditional console is. In this climate sadly if it was a "good deal" you'd get people hoarding them for anything but gaming. The Lenovo Legion Go 2 with the Ryzen Z2 Extreme is £1300 here ($1720) for some context on how other SteamOS like devices are now priced. I got the older Z1 Extreme model for £300 with a dock, just shows how insane prices have got recently.
