QOTW: How long does your PC take to boot?

[Methanoid]

BIOS time is the most annoying element, even when you install an nVME drive

since upgrading to windows 10, im happy it boots at all, since about 30% of time it does not even do that

From cold boot to windows desktop and all start up programs loaded, Around 25 seconds.
It's getting pretty slow but pc is from 2014 and the 1tb Samsung 960pro M.2 SSD is full.
Fresh win install on new pc it was under half that time, But hey I am not complaining compared to 3.5 hdd days.

A LOT more than it should... My old AMD-FX PC with a salvaged SSD from a free laptop my government used to give kids booted faster than my new Ryzen machine with an actual SSD with modern chip technology...

I remember reading somewhere that AMD AGESA takes a while to initialize, which is why Ryzen machines tend to boot up more slowly - can anyone confirm?

My new Ryzen PC seemed fast the first time but now the seconds it sits with the GPU fan spinning fast before the screen comes on seems unreasonably long. My old PC booted to windows in about 30 seconds which was fast when I built it 10 years ago and I thought by now booting would be almost instant.

I just timed it and 37 seconds to windows including entering my pin. That's not great on a new PC with an NVME drive. 8 of those was the noisy post/memory training part before the screen came on.

7 seconds to boot from bios hand-off, but bios splash seems to sit for as long on screen, so 14 seconds to login screen. 5-7 seconds shut down unless during a windows update, then depends on size of the update. OS loaded on Samsung 960 Pro with Z270 chipset, so pretty quick.

19 sec according to task manager

Task manager says this laptop boots in 5.1 seconds. I don't even notice it, really.
Perhaps we should start clocking Steam launch times?
