I saw this tip described in Maximum PC. While the magazine is dedicated to gamers, pro audio users share some of the same problems with Windows.

This tip will force Windows to initialize all drivers when it starts up.

Start button
Settings icon (the gear)
System
Power and Sleep
on the right, click on Additional Power Settings
on the left, Choose What the Power Buttons Do
Change settings that are currently unavailable
DESELECT Turn on Fast Startup (Recommended)
