    I have had this computer for several months and can't seem to figure out even after a clean boot of my os why my alienware takes nearly 4 to 5 minutes to show the login screen after I lock the computer. I have Windows 10 Pro the model with QHD and Tobii Eyetracker. I even tried upgrading the ssd and no luck once its on it works fast but i hate when i log off the problems of being able to get a speedy login. I never had this issue on my desktop. Can anyone tell me if there is a fix.

    Humor me and try swapping it out for another ssd see if the symptom returns.

    Other than that try any and all firmware/bios updates
