Boot time and bios startup menu

i am a little disappointed in boot up time which takes about 25 seconds. The main delay seems to be the time taken before the HP logo appears. It takes about 5 or 6 seconds before a message 'press esc key to enter startup menu' appears and then another few seconds before the HP logo. After that it is very quick.

Is there any way to boot straight to the HP logo?

Prior to buying this notebook I did buy one from Microsoft Store (decided to change because of larger SSD hard drive) and that notebook booted up in 1.1 seconds. I think it was called a Signature Edition of the Spectre x360 and apparently contained no bloatware although I'm not sure if that affected the boot time.

Thank you for showing your interest in the HP Forums,
I’d like to help 🙂

As I understand you want to reduce the boot time as it takes longer than usual to boot into windows,

Don't worry as i have a few steps & links to help resolve this concern,

Here's a link that should help reduce the boot time: Click here (look under Timeout field)

And a related post on HP Forums that seem to have helped others: Click here

I have now tried the suggestion about timeout delay. Mine was set to 30 seconds so I have changed it to 3 seconds (this is the minimum permitted). I also intend to try the Startup Delayed program which appears to be a good idea. My boot time from switch on to desktop is now 14 seconds. (I made a mistake in my original which should have read 11 seconds and not 1.1)
