After clean install of Windows 10, my PC can't do a fast boot anymore. Here's the little story, or you can skip to THE PROBLEM there.

I have old Windows 8.1 PC (details below). Booting less than 3 seconds (counted after bios question screen, press "F2/Del", which last 2 seconds).
Then I have Ryzen PC built, move my SSD on it. Fast, but no bios question screen showed. The notification that I should upgrade to Windows 10 pop up later on desktop.

So I upgraded it to Windows 10 (with the same SSD) from the desktop, without entering bios. Because no bios question ever showed up since I have the new PC. Wow, I push the power button and less than 2 second it showed the desktop.

I thought it was the fast boot/fast startup setting like in Win 8.1 Power Option menu. After disabling it, it still faster than old PC boot up. Tried shutdown, hibernate, and restart, still faster than my Win 8.1. Starting to like Win 10 :)

But I want to check the bios, set the fan speed, check the RAM speed, etc. So next I installed Restart To Bios app from Asrock Site. Yes I can enter the bios, the boot still fast as ever. But then I noticed there is Windows.old folder on my SSD, deleted it but some couldn't be deleted. It consumed pretty much my SSD. Later I did clean install of Win 10, by entering the bios menu before.

THE PROBLEM

After clean install, it always shows bios question screen (F2/Del confirmation) and the booting was soo lame, taking 5 seconds more to boot and take more time to finish startup app. I want the first Win 10 boot and startup experience (without showing the bios screen pop up question) which take more time to enter a ready to use desktop. (Note: I disabled the Restart To Bios app and it still show the bios pop up question).

Any suggestions?

Old PC: i5 2500K, Asrock Extreme3 Gen3, SSD
New PC: Ryzen 5 1600, Asrock Fatal1ty AB350 Gaming K4, same SSD.

it might be the way the HDD is formatted. On some PC, depending how your hdd is formatted, you might only see the windows screen at startup, whereas if its another you get bios + Windows screen. There might be an option in bios itself to not show that screen at startup. The bios is always working in background, PC can't work without it.

its a new PC, you would hope its faster than you older one. Have you checked you have the latest motherboard drivers? old drivers can slow boot down as well. Run Asrock App store as it will check drivers for you

Since you have fast startup off, your PC always has to load drivers from scratch at startup, on an SSD you shouldn't really notice any difference with it on or off. Its more helpful on hdd.
