[AdrianVaughan]

JUst a quick one , it might be just me but...when i power on my pc and boot windows 10, on my nvme why does it sometimes take like only 2 secs and I am at the password screen, but then other times its like 5-10 secs ?

Do you have fast startup turned on?

you don't need it on NVME as they so fast but what it does is saves a copy of drivers + kernel into ram at shutdown so when you start PC its super quick. Its more useful on HDD

Only time a PC with fast startup turned on is actually off is during a restart, so how fast is it after a restart?

it could be difference, 5-10 seconds is hardly slow in the scheme of things.
