Thank you for that. Please ensure that these settings are done inside the BIOS:
BIOS -> ADVANCED-> ONBOARD DEVICES CONFIGURATION -> SSD M.2/U.2 -> AUTO
Please see the complete M.2 setup walk through:
1. BIOS->Boot->CSM (Compatibility Support Module)->Disable
2. BIOS->Boot->Secure Boot->OS Type->Other OS
3. BIOS->Boot->Secure Boot->Key Management->Clear Secure Key
4. F10 (save and exit)
5. Install OS only with bootable UEFI media.
6. Re-enter BIOS after first restart during the OS installation, it will be shown within the BIOS
7. BIOS->Boot->Secure Boot->OS Type->Windows UEFI mode
8. BIOS->Boot->Secure Boot->Key Management->Install Default Secure Boot Keys
9. F10 (save and exit)
10 It should resume the installation, if not, completely power down the system and turn it back on after 10 seconds.
11. Note: do not connect any external devices to the computer during the installation and best if only the M.2 SSD is installed won the system.

Facing a similar problem with AMD 2700x, Asus Crosshair Hero VII WiFi and Samsung 960Pro NVMe 512Gb.
I often (but not always) get a cold reset at startup (meaning the first power on of the day but also later if the system stays switched off for a long time)... I mean the system powers on for a couple of seconds and then immediately switches off. I press the power button again and then works fine loading the OS.
To me it's not a great problem, I haven't opened any assistance ticket.
Firmwares are all up to date, the SSD is in the primary NVMe slot, Windows 10 Pro 64bit installed in Legacy mode (by the way, the guide you posted is for UEFI installation).
Hope it may help!
Cheers.

Whenever I boot up the system (first time of the day) it is simply not starting.
After I hard reboot it (by holding power sw button) and boot it again, everything works flawlessly.
I never experienced any system crashes or other problems once it's actually up.
I also had no problems during the installation of Windows 10.
Everything went/is pretty much smooth(ly).
But my cold boot problem persists.

I have something very similar with my PRIME B450M-A.
The problem for me appears to be booting after doing a shutdown from software without either hitting the reset switch or powering off the whole motherboard.
I would be interested if this is the exact same behaviour as your machine - if so it would suggest to me this is a bug with the BIOS in B450 motherboards, as I don't think there is much else in common with our setups (I have a Ryzen 5 2600, and a spinning disk).

Well, when I go from cold boot I get an Invalid Partition Table error when it does not recognize my SSD. I have the same SSD as the OP here, Samsung 960 1TB except I have the Pro version. On cold boots I get the error because BIOS doesn't always pick up the drive, and then it looks for the next disk which of course does not have Windows on it. If you are getting bad cold bootup, it may be doing the same thing to you, but if you aren't getting the error simply could be because it's not looking for another drive in your sequence. In my case it typically recognizes the drive by the 3rd boot.
It's annoying but I just haven't felt like updating the BIOS yet, which will probably cure it. Like you, I have no issues at all once in Windows.

I guess I might actually install windows again a regular Samsung Sata 2.5" SSD just to see if I see the same problem.
Maybe something for the weekend 😄
