Thanks! I tried to adjust some of them, but by the way of a bit of background - I have two desktops:
1) ASUS GL12CP (i7-8700, 1x16GB hynix 2666 MHz, Crucial MX500 SATA M.2 SSD) and
2) a new build with MSI Z490 Pro A with i7-10700, 8GBx2 3200MHz in dual channels, Crucial NVMe P5 SSD.
I think in theory the new build should boot faster with faster RAM and NVMe SSD, plus it is a clean window installation and should not have much craps than in the old, and yet the boot time for the former was 2.5 seconds vs the latter at 5 seconds...
