Making windows 10 boot faster

[Yuja_Jose]

Me and a couple of friends have been trying to get windows 10 to boot as fast as possible. I've done all the basic stuff in windows, but nothing advanced. As of right now I have windows booting in less than a second, without doing anything crazy. Is there anything else I can do to make it boot even faster? As far as I can see on Google the fastest published boot time was something like 4.6 seconds

How are you timing boot? 1 second seems very fast if your timing from button press to desktop.

TLDR: Fast drive, less ram, bios setup for fast boot, GPT boot.

Bold claim, given board POST usually takes longer. How are you measuring this?

I also need to know how you're measuring the boot.  For science!

An unasked question, Why?

As long as you don't have time to go upstairs and make a pot of coffee and bring the second cup back down, what difference does it actually make?

Make sure you don't have too much RAM capacity (or memory training will take longer) and the RAM will be 1 stick and fast, a super fast SSD, as small amount of programs as possible, and a very fast CPU.

Apparently, 1 dimm is preferable

Yeah, this isn't possible.

 

Unless measuring from when Windows shows up to when you get into it?  From off to in Windows is 10 seconds plus, as you accumulate more apps that load with it.
