I had this issue initially as well. Same basic system, except I have a Samsung 960 Evo M.2 as the boot drive.
Do you know if your boot partition is MBR or GPT?
You can check by:
Right click start button>disk management
Then LEFT click on the part where it describes your boot drive: DISK #, BASIC, Online
Then Right click this and hit properties
Click the Volumes tab, and look at the partition style. If it says "GUID Partition Table (GPT)" then you are ok, but if it says "Master Boot Record (MBR)" then that might be the issue.
That's the problem I had, and after converting to GPT, I was able to disable Compatibility Mode CMS in the BIOS and enable UEFI booting first.
I think you can convert easily if you have one of the last few Windows 10 updates (might be Fall creators update) .
Should be able to right click the start button>command prompt (administrator)
and then type: mbr2gpt.exe /convert /fullos
it should convert your mbr boot partition to GPT. then reboot to BIOS and disable CMS and have it enable UEFI booting.
Hope this helps.

Just booted up again and got 20 seconds boot time. Seems to vary. Still better than 30+ but it seems excessive for an NVME drive in PCIE x4 mode..
To be clear, when I say "boot time" I'm referring to the time spent displaying the windows spinning circle thing only.

Yeah it's still varying between 10 and 20 seconds generally. Too slow for NVME. Does anyone have any other ideas?

Only ideas I have are (1) see if your NVME drive is sharing bandwidth with any other PCIE device. The manual describes bandwidth sharing among PCIE slots, sometimes they even share bandwidth with SATA ports. and (2) is the NVME driver up to date? Hope you get it solved.
