So yeah, given that second step in this sequence, maybe Windows just decided to decline my request to turn off fast startup. OTOH, all the shenanigans happens before any WIndows screen is shown so I was thinking that this is all done by the EFI firmware.
Most likely the latter, probably due to their implementation of Secure Boot.
That being said, WTF, are you using a Server/Workstation motherboard? Holy shit, even my crap doesn't take two minutes on cold boot to even start loading the OS bootloader!
I don't think it's two minutes, but my machine does take a bit to get to the spinning circle thanks to all the drives I have hooked up. The BIOS UEFI's gotta check each and every one to see if it's bootable, especially those external USB hard drives that don't spin up until requested.
