  • Memtest86 is painfully slow to start and change test modes when running under UEFI

    I've observed it when running Memtest86 (7.5 Pro) from a USB flash stick under numerous laptops/PCs with UEFI.

    It takes at least 3 minutes to start - after each message on the screen there's a considerable pause. During all this time the USB flash stick keeps blinking.

    Also, when it finally loads, it takes at least 10 seconds to load each new memory test - naturally the USB flash stick is blinking when loading each new test.

    Can you explain what's going on?

    Can Memtest86 be sped up?

    Sounds like you have a slow or faulty USB drive.

    Get a quality USB 3.0 drive and use a 3.0 port where available.
