I've contacted Asrock. They sent me an updated BIOS that resolves the problem (on Q1900M). I've asked them if it will become available for all users and waiting for their reply. 
Let me know if anyone needs the updated BIOS file, I can upload it on your cloud drive.

Asrock did a great job on this. They value their customers.

frank, trust me. I'm not confused reading this thread.

It's the ones who'll come in behind later and immediately scroll to the bottom looking for a fix.

Yeah - my apologies - I somehow hijacked this thread with a slightly different
board and even more apologies for making it overly complicated for everyone (you) to
understand the intention behind.

But seeing that the threadstarter has the very same issue and seeing how this
was fixed in the linux kernel I'm quite certain that the root cause is the same...

I'd therefor rather suggest that the threadstarter might file his request to the official ASROCK
support webform too (asking for a new BIOS and pointing them to this thread) instead
of doing more silly things to debug this issue and wasting more time.

Again - my apologies for hijacking this thread with a solution... Smile

No speaker installed but i'll try to pin one today and try to reproduce and see if it beeps on reboot.

Fast startup is not enabled in UEFI (by default) and fast startup entry does not show up in windows power options (i guess it's linked with the disabled option in UEFI).

Can confirm this issue as well - I'm running a Q1900 DC-ITX (with latest 1.20 BIOS) here.
When rebooting it from within Windows 10 (latest 1511) it hangs in most
cases with a blinking cursor... but a cold start always works fine.

It doesn't seem to be related to 'fast startup' as well - because I doesn't
have it enabled.

However - I'm running the same board in some linux servers too - and they
are all _not_ affected by this because of a recent patch to the linux kernel, see:

http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/linux/kernel/2140005?do=post_view_threaded

and its commit

https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/arch/x86/kernel/reboot.c?id=80313b3078fcd2ca51970880d90757f05879a193

which effectively fixed this for me on at least linux.

Problems for Windows:

1) How can one mimic this reboot=pci on Windows (it at all possible)
2) Isn't this a BIOS issue (with latest 1.20) which should be fixed by some clever ASROCK tech?

HTH,

Do either of you have a POST code speaker connected to the board, in case you are getting a POST beep code that may give a clue to the problem?

The Windows 10 fast startup feature only works from a cold start, not on a restart. You could try disabling fast startup for a few cold boot and restart cycles. If that then clears the restart problem, try to enable fast startup again.

From the main Power Options screen, click on the Choose what the power buttons do option, and you'll find the fast startup entry in the lower part of that screen.

It seems as if neither of you have the Fast Boot option enabled in the UEFI? (Unrelated to Windows fast startup.)
