Dell xps 9550 slow bios boot time
Hello,
Few weeks ago bought new dell xps 9550 4k model i7 512 Toshiba ssd model.
Unsatisfied with boot time - about 23 seconds to boot windows 10.
Bios boot time in task manager shows 12,3 seconds - it is unacceptable for such expensive computer with newest hardware. My old inspiron with windows 7 boots faster and has bios boot time about 1-2 seconds.
Clean install win 10, bios newest version 1.2 and newest drivers.
My boot looks like this:
also I found a video there xps 13 boots very fast:
Searched all forums - no solution.
So maybe Dell engineers know what is the problem here and how to fix it?

I am disappointed as well with the boot time, it used to be around 1.5 minutes before and now it's still slow but not so excessive. In my case it got better after delaying NVIDIA Experience but I agree: even half a minute is too much for a brand new XPS when they are advertising it to be just a mere seconds.

Have you checked the BIOS to see if there is any setting to improve boot time?

Try both AHCI and IDE modes to see which one is faster for your setup.

Problem still exists. Bought a new XPS 15 9550 i7 with SSD512, 16GB Ram. BIOS bootup time (from pressing power button to getting the Dell logo) is from 20 seconds to 17 seconds (by disabling a bunch of stuff). This is clearly a BIOS issue since after the logo the OS boots in less than 5 seconds. Also notice that restarting the computer speeds up the BIOS bootup to 4 seconds.
Things tried:
1. Disable USB Boot options
2. Disable UEFI
3. Disable SupportAssist
4. Set POST bootup to minimal
5. Set POST bootup to 0 seconds
6. Set POST bootup to 5 seconds in order to see POST messages (got blank black screen instead of messages)
Unfortunately there is no apparent settings to see what the BIOS is doing in order to help resolving this. This is an unacceptable bootup speed for a machine of this class. Machines from 5 years ago were far faster!
