Slow booting time despite high-end PC

Hello. This is my PC: bit.do/kanishkpc

This is a fairly high-end PC and I would think that such a PC having Windows 10 installed on its SSD would provide super snappy boot up times but instead my booting time from black screen (after restarting logo is done) is 20-23 seconds which seems much slower than what it was a year ago. I asked an engineer to check my PC and he did an SSD test and looked at the voltage/temperature of the motherboard and said that everything was fine.

If everything were fine, why would my booting time be so slow?

I've reinstalled Windows 10 and Task Manager has reported the same last BIOS time of 9.9 seconds. I suspect OS isn't the issue as the problem happens right when the PC starts not when Windows begin to start (the rotating circles) - that is very fast - less than 3 seconds.

What is the next step?

nothing wrong with 20secs for a SSD boot.
without one, a HDD takes about 60-90secs, mine with SSD take 17.
so 20 may just be the high side of quick.

lot's of things you can still do to increase performance further, like;
  • stop unnecessary services
  • turn off hibernation
  • move pagefile to HDD
  • check msconfig for unwanted programs
  • allocate a RAW partition to allow over-provisioning on your SSD
  • turn off Windows defragger
  • turn off system restore if you do you own backup regime which includes system images
  • disable prefetch and indexing
then there are programs like CCleaner, ShutUp10 and tweaking programs to cut even deeper.

1) My problem isn't that my SSD doesn't boot in 5 seconds but 25. Instead it is that it's definitely gotten slower primarily the 10 seconds of black screen before Windows begins booting. I think this happened sometime during a previous installation of Windows 10. Maybe that installation got virus? I don't know.
2) I am using a recently clean installed Windows 10 and both, before and after, the clean installation, Task Manager shows my BIOS time as 9.9 seconds. Also there was no change in booting time even after my clean installation which indicates that the problem isn't with Windows. I don't know what to put it on. It's the motherboard that's problematic?
3) My SSD used to be super fast so for it to suddenly take maybe twice as long (even if its only double of 10) is not OK.
