Literally no changes other than installation of Creators Update.

Thanks. The specs just tells us what you're running and give an idea as to performance of system. That said, all we have to go by is you saying boot times have increased ridiculously before the update. But slow compared to what? How do you define "ridiculously"? How slow is that?
Anyway boot times can be affected by a myriad of things so It's hard to say what's causing slower times. Just FYI, I've not noticed any increased times on any of my updated PC's. On the other hand I've not measured them. They just seem the same to me.
Also bear in mind, you have traditional hard drives that'll boot Windows slower than any SSD drive. Point being when comparing your new boot times to on another make sure you're comparing HDD to HDD, not HDD to SSD!

Thx for your input.
However please note the ONLY change that has been made (x3) has been the update.
And "ridiculous" can be quantified by 2-3 times longer each system takes to fully boot and become usable. As in COMPLETELY noticeable and not needing an actual time hack to measure the difference.
I'm quite aware of SSD vs HDD - however that isn't the issue here at all. I've built studio quality systems for years and fully understand the building, operation, updating and usage of high end systems.
There is an issue with this update. Plain and simple. And yes, I understand many have had zero problems. However my experience has been completely different.

We don't know what your qualifications are and assume nothing. This provides for better help in assuring we aren't talking over people's head who may not be so knowledgeable. Now that you stated your qualifications we can move from there.
With that I would check task manager to see what's running that maybe shouldn't. Did you disable tasks or remove stuff that would be reset during the upgrade? Perhaps this is a reason for your slowdowns?
While I'm never one to assume because I have no issues, no one else does; I'm also of the mindset that just because some have issues doesn't mean the entire process is broken. There are simply too many PC configurations for any upgrade to not break something. It happens.
What you look at though in this case are the numbers.... and the vast majority have not experienced the issue you post. It doesn't mean you don't have issues, but it does lend credence to the notion that the upgrade isn't as problematic as you simply state.
That said, no doubt you feel there's an issue with your upgrade... the question is what's causing it? At this point I have no idea other that what I said earlier - check to see if any settings you'd previously tweaked, removed, or disabled, got reset as major upgrades such as this do tend to reset stuff.
Good luck.

I'm now seeing even more problems - there is a post here about chkdsk not working Chkdsk not working?
Why didn't MS software engineering process discover and fix such a basic error?

So far, so good
Only thing that bothers me is Windows Defender, so I turned it off.

This depends on your expectation as well, I upgraded 3 pc
with fresh install and then with upgrade assistant and I found
behaviour that I consider "problems" and you may not...
Fresh install:
Programs indexing does not work (on 3 different PC)
Upgrade with upgrade assistant:
Before the upgrade:
cortana off (gpedit allow cortana to disable)
web search off
default store app removed ( meteo, news etc...)
After the upgrade:
Al apps restored all my settings reset
Cortana alive and Kiking (gpedit is reverted to allow cortana "yes")
web search active, despite the fact that it's set to not search
for web results in gpedit, I'll try to be more clear because of my english
is not so good:
gpedit settings (i'm translating so it may not be the exact sentence in
english version of gpedit, but I think the meaning is what matters)
search - do not allow web search set to ACTIVE
search - do not search the web and do not display web results set to ACTIVE
with this gpedit settings I was getting search result and performing web search
using the search/cortana function (win key and type...)
I sure was able to reopen gpedit and reset the three settings,
reboot and all was back to normal, but i find a bit stresful
to chek all the settings for any update.
Maybe you enjoy cortana, web search, and the app i disable
(and do not get me wrong, I think they are legit services,
that could be useful, they simply are not useful to me ...)
so you will not have the problems i'm facing...
so is something seriously wrong with my computers?
so is something seriously wrong with your computers?
so is something wrong with windows?
It is for posterity to judge:)
