My machine is set to 30 seconds timeout.
Is there any danger in setting this to high or to low?
Thanks!
That is what mine is also reading at and up to now no trouble at all in fact loads really fast as you can see by my other posts also since yesterdays update seems to boot up even faster.
I press button logo comes up does two parts of circle then circle for windows 10 appears
Again only part turns before lock screen appears
log on with password
Then screen comes up and then message good to go and I am in windows mail app
Reading my e-mails
So I for one wont set a time out
I set my value to 3 because it would not accept anything lower.
After reboot I see windows does come up faster once I reach the login screen.
Thanks much!
I've noticed that too yes, fortunately I had already set it to 0 when I still had Windows 8.1 :)
The timeout only applies if you are dualbooting and defines how long the boot menu is displayed before loading the default OS. If you only have one instance of Windows installed it makes no difference what you set it to as the boot menu is not displayed anyway. Changing the Boot Menu Time-out - Windows 10 hardware dev
While it is true that you can't set it to less than 3 through the GUI you can set it to a lower value using the command bcdedit /timeout 1 from an elevated command prompt (changing the 1 to the number of seconds you want). If you set it to zero it will just boot into the default OS without displaying the menu.
I have mine set to 1 second so I can change to another OS on the (unusual) occasion I want to without delaying boot too much.
