Asus H170 Pro Gaming - 10+ second POST, what do?

It is really bothering me now. Considering I have an SSD that should take me no time to boot, BIOS is taking up to 10 or more seconds to post, I've looked through the options a dozen times and theres nothing I can see that remotely will lower the POST time, is there anything that can be done about it? Am I missing something?

Fun fact, BIOS has nothing to do with the SSD or storage at all... Thats all on board the Motherboard... If thats how long it takes the board to go through its POST, then thats how long it takes. You could try updating the BIOS to see if that helps as sometimes it can. If not, then you are stuck with that.

Yeah I know, but with that post time, its like I have an HDD to boot. I'm super scared of updating BIOSes so this is mildly infuriating.

There is extremely minimal risk these days when updating BIOS compared to years past. Unless you have an issue with losing power, chances of something actually going wrong are extremely slim.

Still I consider this as a last resort, for now I'll try asking Asus
