Windows taking over a minute to turn on after being powered down from wall?

Hey guys, I'm running Windows 10 with a Ryzen 3700x, 32GB DDR4 3,000mhz Ram(4 sticks), Gigabyte Aorus gaming 5 x470 motherboard(latest bios), Gigabyre 2070 GPU and Samsung 970 SSD. Ultra fast boot in bios enabled. On a regular shut down my boot time is about 16-17 seconds, in which it spends ALOT of that time with a black screen to get to the actual bios. However if I power the whole PC down from the actual wall, it takes well over a minute and 20 seconds to get to the log in screen. Is this normal due to the PC losing it's hibernation data on complete shut down? Seems unusually long considering my RAM and SSD. Any ideas? I do notice the RAM LED being red on the motherboard for a long time before the actual log in screen comes up so it could be RAM related?

No, not even close.

Well if you are hibernating it does take time to load up the hibernation files. If that's not the issue here then I am unsure, what is your windows version?

 Thanks for the reply. I am running Windows 10 home, 10.0.18362, build 18362.

When I originally installed Windows 10 on the SSD, the SSD was fitted to the lower PCI slot which was 2.0 and wasn't reaching it's advertised speeds. I then fitted the SSD to the upper slot(3.0) and it now hits its advertised speeds. Could the motherboard be trying to access the 2.0 PCIe first instead of the 3.0 PCIe?

I have the Windows 10 hybrid-hibernation turned off, so every boot is always a fresh boot. I also don't have any fast-boot stuff enabled in BIOS. I still boot to the desktop in ~25 seconds and most of that time gets spent on the BIOS-screen -- probably go down to 10-15 seconds if I enabled fast-boot.

Is fast boot enabled in the bios? Is this a fresh install of windows 10 (not a imaged copy)?

Yes to both(Ultra Fast boot actually). I downloaded Windows 10 off the Microsoft Website and activated it afterwards.

Hmmm. Have you run Windows updates  recently? Did you try another data cable on the off chance that one is defective?

Windows says I am upto date. I am running an SSHD for storage but Window's is installed on an SSD(no data cable needed). Are there any other cables I should check?

Always good practice to check all canoeing especially those coming off the PSU when you are troubleshooting anything. But nothing in particular no. Small possibility that your windows install was messed up ( can happen by chance on occasion), but I doubt it.

I do have the SSHD SATA cable daisy chaining so it powers the RGB Fan hub also . Could this be a concern?

Possibly. Have you checked boot priorities In the bios?

Turns out BIOS is resetting its settings when being disconnected from the wall outlet. This includes turning off XMP, ultra boot etc even though they are saved to a brand new CMOS battery that I bought and installed today. I've been told that the BIOS is trying different RAM profiles for the RAM which is taking more than a minute on a pure cold start. After the initial cold boot, shutting down and booting up again only takes about 18 seconds. But I'm still stuck on why the saved settings disappear when disconnected from the wall outlet... Any ideas?
