how to change the boot menu timeout in uefi

My PC sits on the boot selection screen for ages before loading Windows. I'd like to shorten it to a couple seconds. Is that in the BIOS/UEFI settings or somewhere in Windows?

which menu? for Windows Boot Manager it's msconfig > Boot tab > Timeout, or bcdedit /timeout 5 in an admin prompt. for GRUB, edit GRUB_TIMEOUT in /etc/default/grub then run sudo update-grub. the firmware's own boot menu delay is in the BIOS setup, if your board offers it at all.
