Slow startup times with SSD
I have a new crucial mx500 SSD and it takes a long time to boot. Not INSANELY long times, but 15+ seconds on the BIOS splash screen plus like 6+ on the windows login screen. My older laptop with old SSD boots in less than half the time, so it's way too slow for SSD.
I followed instructions here and did a boot trace: Boot Time painfully slow on WD m.2 SSD Drive, here is the zipped file link : https://file.io/uvQNaGYBWawX from @bro67
I tried disabling all unecessary startup items, also tried doing minimal safe boot and it still took as long to boot.
Of note I have an HDD in my system, but all the install files are on the SSD (I disconnected HDD during windows installation). Any ideas on things to try? Thank you.
