Dont have any suggestions, but for me startup time is really not that important as I dont really remember when was the last time I fully shutdown my laptop… I always use sleep  (drains very little battery)and after about 48 hours of sleep my laptop goes to hibernate (which almost never happens).

I have been thinking the same issue… It´s very long time between when the Jumper text shows up and when the Windows actually starts loading. Sandisk EMMC is fast so the loading time itself doesnt take long.

In task manager my Last BIOS time was 9.7 seconds.

I have “Quiet boot” (I think thats what it is called) disabled in the BIOS (so I do not get the Jumper logo I see the American Megatrends BIOS logo and text) – BIOS is stock V4 apart from that.

Also I have an m2.ssd installed and Windows 10 on that BUT the EFI System Partition is still on the EMMC – so my boot MIGHT be be quicker if I shifted the EFI partiton to the SSD but to be honest the boot time from cold to the Win logon screen is approx 17secs and that is quick enough for me.

Mine says 7.7 seconds but I don’t have a v4, I have a v2. I haven’t  changed any settings in the bios.

I use a security program by 360 and it reports my startup time being 1 minute. (The time it takes to get into Windows and for the program to start). It keeps a history of times and they’re on average 40-60 seconds. I’m still using the factory EMMC due to problems I encountered when installing a SSD.

9.9 seconds here sometimes less and sometimes 10.1 seconds. This is with my SSD as the main boot drive. I’m not too worried however as I use sleep and it will stay in sleep for days and not really lose much battery. Even on all the time and downloading stuff with the lid closed (screen off) It will go for about 17 hours like this or more.

OK, thanks for your feedback.

G’day, I’d been setting money aside for a new smartwatch to track my fitness goals, but it was slow going. After some unsuccessful attempts at other places, I was getting impatient. A friend mentioned play jonny, so I decided to try it. The platform was intuitive, and after a few more losses, I risked a larger amount. The win allowed me to get the exact model I wanted. My fitness tracking has been much more accurate since then. It could help you reach your own health goals.
