Slow windows boot with SSD

[TheCherryKing]

I have built a new PC a few weeks ago with a fresh installation of Windows on an SSD. The BIOS is very slow but that is to be expected with a Workstation/Server board. The Windows boot is also very slow even though Windows is installed on an SSD. What methods or tools should I use to speed up the Windows boot? Below is the Crystal Disk Mark results.

Might be a problem with the programs on Windows,Did you try a clean install?

 

EDIT:Saw that you built this not too long ago,and man those are fast Read/Write Speeds

[TheCherryKing]

This is a clean install.

Did you update the BIOS/Uefi of the board?

[TheCherryKing]

Yes I did.

You sure the SSD is set up for boot.  Maybe you accidentally formatted the HDD for boot and are booting off of that?

 

Unlikley though.....

 

*I really don't have much of an idea

The C: drive is definitely an SSD.

HMM, My guess is that it's because of the massive amount of cores as well as the server/workstation board. Not sure though.

The BIOS is slow but the Windows boot should be much quicker. Windows usually takes around 3 minutes to boot.

That is a little strange. IDK but i hope you find the answer. Good luck.
