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
- zozbot234 5y agoIIRC, you can use a PowerShell incantation to reboot to UEFI setup. So it's not ideal, but nevertheless manageable. Most Linux bootloaders also have this feature.
- sinuhe69 5y agoIt is not a cold start. Actually, the fast start feature of Windows 10 allowed this feat. But in essential, it is just restoring a working session to the RAM.
- unnouinceput 5y agoYeah, it's cold start. I think I know my laptop better than you

- nix23 5y agoYou oblivious don't know your Operating-system.
- unnouinceput 5y agoOh, please, teach me master </s> And it's "obvious", or more correct in the context "obviously"
- nix23 5y agoShutdown and Start are NOT a Cold boot in Windows 10. There you got it young padawan.
- unnouinceput 5y agoMuhahaha, best joke of this week. You're funny, stupid, but funny. I like you :), because of people like you I get to earn big buck by straightening their fuck-up on projects. Please, stay like this, never change.
- nix23 5y agoTrue, the only way to make a "Cold" start in Win10 is a reboot, Shutdown is a "simulated" hibernation.
- 0-_-0 5y agoHow fast is it if you disable fast startup (which is essentially hybernation)?
- unnouinceput 5y agoStill under 5 seconds, and still I don't want it that fast. That was my whole point
- 0-_-0 5y agoHow 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.
- unnouinceput 5y agoYou'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.
- 0-_-0 5y agowhy do you want long boot times?
- unnouinceput 5y agoSo 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.
- 0-_-0 5y agoAs 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.
