I’m currently having extremely slow BIOS start issue now.

My last BIOS time was 34.7s.

I reported this issue by Feedback Hub and Microsoft Support.

Many user have this issue now. (Long booting time on Surface Go 3 – Microsoft Q&A, Go 3 boot time increased massively : r/Surface)

Microsoft Support Team recommended me to restore my Surface Go 3 machine, so I did it. But this issue didn’t resloved with it.

So it’s clear that this issue must caused by the firmware that recently updated probably late October.
