    When I first got the laptop it would boot in 12 seconds. I have the base model with the 8gb ssd cache. I installed new drivers that werent approved by lenovo yet but it all worked fine and still booted up in around 12 seconds. Then I stupidly deleted the drivers and reinstalled them and now it takes over 30 seconds to boot. I tried everything i know of to fix the problem. I made sure all traces of the driver were gone before reinstalling them again. I used the clean my pc feature with windows. I'm not sure if it even has to do with the drivers or it might just be a coicidence it started happening when i reinstalled them. When I boot up, the little loading dots spinning in a circle used to go very smoothly, but now they are visibly lagging for a little before they start going smoothly in the circle.

    You can try several startup/shutdown procedures. Caching SSDs typically take a few cycles to determine which files are frequently used and to write them to the NAND cache.
