Anyone managed this, apparently it is possible with this method. i am debating a reinstall, because i am odd and want a super fast boot 🙂

"go into the uefi, make sure csm is set to disabled
then secure boot to uefi.
To fresh install on win 10 i had to disable csm and turn secure boot to other os then after the installation, before windows configures, go back into the bios and changed secure boot to windows uefi,

then i downloaded samsungs nvme driver.

My boot time is 8.83 seconds and i have video to show. from when i hit the power button to booted into windows. before i changed the secure boot to uefi i would get 2 splash screens so it literally took more than double the time"

If you're looking to break the world record for quickest boot, some users disable memory training which helps a lot. Personally, I don't recommend it.

Memory training doesn't seem to matter once it's locked in right? I've had it off for a long time now and no issues.

So you managed to shave 2 seconds of boot time? All this work for 2seconds gain?*

You can set your NIC from "auto negotiation" to "100mbit" or "1000mbit" to gain instant internet after boot.
Sometimes its better to put the mouse and keyboard in the usb-meant-for-that. Its different from mainboard to mainboard. You should try to use usb 2.0 from intel.

There are uefi notebooks with boottimes about ~5s
