And it really is less than 3 seconds straight to desktop UI and ready to use immediately, incredible.

I have a laptop with NVMe on which if I setup Win10 to boot without password prompt and no BIOS test, I can have a working desktop from cold start under 2 seconds. I actually hate that kind of speed since if I want to change something in BIOS / have different startup (like OS recovery prompt for example) my F2 / Del / F8 pressing has a lot of misses.

Nowadays startup under 10 seconds is more of a hinder than a gain. My 2 cents

How fast is it if you disable fast startup (which is essentially hybernation)?

>>0-_-0+ha1
Still under 5 seconds, and still I don't want it that fast. That was my whole point

How long your computer waits on the BIOS screen is independent of the OS boot time, and can be set in the BIOS if you need it to be longer.

You're missing the point here. From cold boot to either desktop or password prompt I do not want that time to be less than 10 seconds. Hence why I have to hinder it by extending the BIOS by enabling all checks AND I make my Windows show me the entire list of drives it loads.

>>unnoui+DI2
why do you want long boot times?

>>0-_-0+aJ2
So I can have time to press F2 / Del / F8 (go to BIOS / go to OS boot options) and not miss because the window is too narrow.

As I said, how long your computer waits on the BIOS screen to wait for a keypress is independent of the OS boot time, and can be set in the BIOS if you need it to be longer. Booting the OS happens after waiting for DEL, and are independent events, one has nothing to do with the other.
