The solution I posted, combined with a BIOS pw, resolves the wait-time issue by putting the pw prompt at the beginning of the process instead of in the middle of it.

The only thing I can think of to securely get around your use case is to put your computer in a hibernation state rather than shutting it down. Is that an option?

Let me know if you come up with anything.

Oh, I now understand your reply and you are right, but this bios feature is not available for any BIOS.

Anyway, with BIOS password you only move the login option from the OS log-in to the BIOS log-in, but still have to log-in before your programs are loaded.

Using this BIOS login you can as well disable Windows Login and only lock computer at start-up.

Also using BIOS password you cannot schedule your computer to automatically boot up at a specific time and have everything waiting for you when you sit in front of your desk
