   For me, with a moderately powered Win10 on an SSD, and a
modest (by current standards) i5-12400, cold boot takes maybe
30 seconds tops. (I use a BIOS password and multi-boot menu,
so I'm never just starting Windows.) Waking from Sleep is
pretty much instant, though I also have to hit the spacebar and
Enter in order to get past login. (I haven't found any method to
tell Windows that I don't want to log in. Windows NT is simply
not designed for single-user operation.)

  For the latter, no need to login after resume from sleep, I think you
have to set the lock screen timeout to never.

  For Windows 11, it would be:

Settings -> Accounts -> Account settings -> Sign-in options ->
Additional settings -> If you've been away, when should Windows require
you to sign-in again? -> Never

  N.B. IMO, this is actaully not a new sign-in, because you were already
signed in and have not signed out, but an *unlock* of the *lock screen*.
However for some strange reason this isn't a lock screen setting, but a
sign-in setting. Go figure!

  Please let me/us knows if this works for you. I have - temporarily -
used it before, but can't remember for which purpose that was.
