Hi all,

As the subject name states. I recently got the ASRock Z790 Steel Legend WiFi.

I installed my M.2 in the first slot and I had set my BIOS to ultrafast boot. Within 10 seconds, it'd hit the boot screen and state "A2" in the bottom right.

I'd then try it without ulta-fast boot, and I would sit at my PC for 80 seconds on the dot before it'd flash up the boot window with A0 for a few seconds. Afterwards, it'd then boot straight into Windows 10.

It's annoying me that I can't have my ultrafast boot. This feels as if I've gone for a downgrade afrom the ROG Strix series as at least that'd boot within 20 - 30 seconds, instead of 80 seconds with ASRock.

PC Specs.

Mobo: ASRock Z790 Steel Legends Wifi
CPU: Intel I9-14900k
GPU: MSI Geforce SuprimX
RAM: 64GB Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5 (2x32GB) 6400MHz
Storage:
- x2 Crucial P3 Plus 2TB M.2
- x2 Samsung 970 EVO Plus 2TB M.2
- x1 Samsung SSD
- x3 HDDs
- x1 Disk Tray

Can anyone help me fix this damned issue? it's driving me insane.

Thanks.
