Welcome to our HP Community forum!
You raised an excellent question.
Please follow the optimization steps as outlined by a fellow named Panjno in this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wkJBDEDDS5o&t=736s&ab_channel=Panjno. Only thing you should do differently is found starting at time stamp 17:17: you should add eight f's like so: ffffffff and not seven f's.
Reason why you should take a number of steps and not just a 'quickie' step such as mentioned at time stamp 12:36 (setting the "Timeout" setting at 3 or 5 seconds), is that many software settings work in tandem to shorten (or lengthen!) your startup/boot time.
Nor are these steps specific for "gaming optimization" -or Windows 10 for that matter, as they also apply pretty much to what you are asking for.
Kind Regards,
