Hi. I need advise from fellow forumers. I'm using Win 10 on M2 SSD. I recently read that disabling CSM in BIOS will speed up the boot process. But when I disabled CSM, Win 10 actually took a very long time to boot up and once boot up completed, my WIFI becomes disabled. If I re-enable the CSM, everything goes back to normal.

I even tried to re-install Win10 but the bootable USB hanged at the MB logo with an error binary message if I disable CSM. Installation is smooth if CSM if enabled.

My MB is Gigabyte B450 I Pro Wifi with Ryzen 5 2600.

Any ideas what's going on?

How much time do you expect to save by disabling CSM. Maybe you should consider disabling all the auto loading apps in windows start up. That is a more positive approach.

Thank you for your reply. But let's just say I'm adamant about using Win10 with CSM disabled, what will be the best workaround? I don't mind re-installing Win10.

could be a bug of BIOS.
If your bios already latest ,  pls inform gigabyte about the bug.

Got it. I'll check my BIOS version then. Thanks

After you disable CSM and re-install Windows, did you use a UEFI Windows Installer?
If not, open the link below to learn how to create UEFI Windows Installer

I actually disabled CSM, booted into Administrator X mode, formatted the drive and reinstalled Win10. Things worked well for a few days but then I'll lose my WIFI again. Yes, the bootable USB is UEFI via Rufus.
