HP Recommended
Product: HP Pro Mini 400 G9 PC (4G4N8AV)

If you are experiencing "Executing Startup Delay" and waisting 20-30sec to boot everytime from SSD equipped HP product, you can resolve yourself - HP support did not provided me good answers, only after several interactions I received formal  step by step instructions to try, but did not help much. Their instructions are at the end of my message.

Here is the way I solved.

  1. Go to starup menu (mine was hiting ESC during booting)
  2. Go to  BIOS setup and update System BIOS
  3. Select Advanced at the top
  4. Select Boot Options
  5. Make sure FAST BOOT is clicked and Change Startup Delay to zero (mine was set to 30)
  6. Disable Network (PXE) Boot
  7. Save everything and exit startup menu

I hope the above works for you. Good luck.

 

Original HP Support instructions were:

  1. Check Boot Order & Fast Boot Settings

A misconfigured boot order or disabled fast boot could be causing the delay.

  • Steps:
    1. Turn on the PC and repeatedly press F10 during startup to enter the BIOS.
    2. Go to Boot Options.
    3. Ensure that the primary boot device (SSD/NVMe) is at the top of the list.
    4. Enable Fast Boot (if available).
    5. Save and exit.
