I have recently bought Asrock B460M pro4. Cpu intel core i5 10600k. Ram gskill 3000 mhz with spd 2133 mhz. Storage nvme ssd 970evo plus. I want to boot windows 10 within just 5 to 6 sec. Can I achieve it?... To get more faster to boot windows 10, what should I do... Can this motherboard capable to boot more faster than other motherboard????
 
Solution
Fast startup has nothing at all to do with the BIOS settings. That is completely related to Windows fast startup/hybrid sleep routine, and is not related to the "fast boot" in the BIOS. And, it's a pile of crap. I recommend ALWAYS disabling hybrid sleep/fast startup by disabling hibernation, for anything that isn't strictly a tablet or notebook, and I USUALLY disable it on notebooks as well.

If your B450 Mortar isn't showing the setting in the BIOS then it's likely/possible that your configuration is legacy, not UEFI. If the configuration and Windows installation are not FULL UEFI then that setting may not be visible. If it is a full GPT partition and UEFI configuration and installation, and the setting is still not there, then it is...
You can accomplish what you want by not booting at all.
Use sleep to ram(no hibernate) instead.
That puts the pc and monitor into a very low power state, similar to a full power off.
Sleep/wake is only a matter of seconds.
On my system, it takes about 4 seconds.

Exactly.
I don't even do that...no sleep, no hibernate.
The monitors go to sleep after xx minutes, thats it.

Calculating the total idle time when I'm not using the system....$50/year in electricity.
That annual $50 buys me:
Windows updates happen when I'm asleep
backups happen when I'm asleep,
and the magical/mythical zero boot time.
