Hello. This is my PC: bit.do/kanishkpc

This is a fairly high-end PC and I would think that such a PC having Windows 10 installed on its SSD would provide super snappy boot up times but instead my booting time from black screen (after restarting logo is done) is 20-23 seconds which seems much slower than what it was a year ago. I asked an engineer to check my PC and he did an SSD test and looked at the voltage/temperature of the motherboard and said that everything was fine.

If everything were fine, why would my booting time be so slow?

I've reinstalled Windows 10 and Task Manager has reported the same last BIOS time of 9.9 seconds. I suspect OS isn't the issue as the problem happens right when the PC starts not when Windows begin to start (the rotating circles) - that is very fast - less than 3 seconds.

What is the next step?

Hello, it's best to clean the entire computer, reinstall windows and windows, install on an SSD drive, and games, for example, on M2 or HDD, I have it and it's good, the computer runs fast
Hi. We need more of the story here. What are you trying to accomplish? Are you building a new computer?
Also, please detail computer spec (components, sizes, speeds, etc.).

Use a virus cleaning program follow SSD defragmentation program and then an utility to remove startup apps that happen to get located over time.

Good luck with that.
Yeah, friends don't let friends defrag SSDs (unless you hate them and want to get even with them for screwing you over). ;)

Defragging SSDs is always a very bad idea for someone who wants the SSD to last.

From other posts, it seems like Mr. Harry_Wild is going into multiple threads trying to be helpful (I'll assume that for now), but they apparently have been out of computer tech for a while, and have been providing some pretty bad/inaccurate advice.

Maybe they should reflect and reevaluate that behavior before doing that again.
