    i have reinstalled Windows 10 on my alienware
    17 r3 following the instructions elsewhere on these forums

    All seems fine and I get a reset boot of about 17 seconds until I install the Samsung NVMe drivers at which point when resetting there is a black screen before the alienware logo and my reset time jumps to 50 seconds

    Now, I could always not install the drivers but I have read it is recommended to get the maximum speed from the drive?

    Anyone seen the issue and know how to address?
