is there a texmf-win64 directory someplace?

btw, 30 sec for making a format sounds a lot to me (normally it takes me 
around 4.5 sec for one format including generating the file database, a 
few year old laptop but with an ssd) ... or is your console slow (if you 
run a lot from the console it makes sense to use 'conemu' as consoles - 
on any os - take some runtime due to the way tex flushes)
