Latitude e5570 slow BIOS boot
Dear all! I have a new Dell Latitude e5570, 8 gigs of ram, and a Hynix Pc300 512GB NVME M.2 Sata drive. Did a clean install of windows 10 pro. Updated drivers, and BIOS. No other programs. No attached perirherials. Computer is working perfectly, but the boot time is not on the snappy side. It takes about 30 seconds to get to Windows login screen from the moment i click the power button.
Measured the drive after Windows booting, ant it gives 1800/800 read/write speed so it is 3X the speed of a regular SSD
After clicking the power button the screen remains black for about 8-9 seconds, then the DELL logo shows up. After which is starts loading windows with those rotating circles.
I also have a 3 year old Hasswell architecture HP notebook, with a not too fast regular Kingston v300 SSD. This config boots until complete desktop in 9 seconds.
What could be causing the long wait before showing the desktop on this dell?

What was the operating system that shipped on this system from Dell?
What was the prior BIOS version?
What BIOS version did you install?
Did you do screenshots of the prior BIOS to compare them to the new BIOS to see what changes may have been made that could have slowed the boot time down?
On the prior BIOS and shipping operating system, what was the time for, "to get to Windows login screen from the moment i click the power button?

Dear Chris!
First of all, "I canl live" with such a "burden" of booting in half a minute. I'am just curious, what
on earth is going on here.
Factory Op system was Windows 8.1, with a 128Gb m.2 slot normal sata SSD.(I was glad to see the recowery Win 8.1 image is also downloadable from dell...)
Haven't noted down previous BIOS verion, neither made screenshoots. But is indifferernt anyway boot times were the same, approx 25-30secs. I usually don't touch/tweak or update bios until all is ok.
Nowadays 128GB is quite narrow, so i changed it to the mentioned NVME drive.
Did a clean install of win10, GPT partition, UEFI secure boot, fastboot enabled. Boot times haven't improwed, so I did a BIOS update to he latest. Same boot time.
I even tried at a shop an Alienware laptop with normal ssd. and boot times were the same about 25 secs. Wondering may be coomon for Dells this lazy boot times?
By the way are you in apposition to try out any Latitude laptop?

The only Latitude I have here is the E7240 (i7-4600U, Samsung 256GB PM851 SSD, 16GB ram, Windows 7). From a cold boot to windows login = 27.94 seconds.

Well,,in my experience this is an answer to the fact that current Latitude notebooks boot somewhat clumsy. I think currently is nothing to do about it unfortunately. Neither live chatting with support, nor here could get any tricks and tipps to speed up the boot process. Maybe a future BIOS...
Could his be addressed to the DELL development departament somehow, or no chance at such a multi worldwide company?

The Alienware laptops I tested in the lab also take about 28 seconds to get to the Windows login screen. So we have three models all with similar times. That appears to be the standard for Dell. If, "I can't live" with such a burden of booting in half a minute.", then you should return the system for refund while inside the first 30 days from the purchase date.

No I won't return it I think. This is my first DELL. I'll give it a try and chance to serve me 4-5 years. Maybe a future BIOS will speed up booting. Thanks anyway for advices and support. Bye Chris M.
