Sudden slow boot time on Windows Loading screen with SSD

FreeBooter said:

The temperature is to high, you should clean all dust and dirt from CPU, Fan and other components. You should also clean and apply new thermal paste to CPU.

Can you please uninstall Standard PS/2 Keyboard and Microsoft PS/2 Mouse drivers from Device Manager and restart your computer.

Running the Chkdsk command in booted Windows wont always give you correct scan result. Can you please schedule a error checking at next reboot.

Fast startup (aka: hiberboot, hybrid boot, or hybrid shutdown) is turned on by default in Windows and is a setting that helps your PC start up faster after shutdown. Check to see if this feature is turn on if its turn it off and restart your computer to see issue resolves.

As you can see in the picture above, the temperatures are normal, I bought the MB, CPU, RAM, GPU and M.2 SSD on Black Friday and applied the Arctic MX-4 thermal paste. While gaming, which is a heavy task, the CPU hits about 57º celsius and the GPU about 68º celsius, I don't think I need to re-apply the thermal paste after such short time. About the temperature in the M.2 SSD, I've searched it about a month ago and it's normal to get 50s at idle and 70+ when using it. I've also uninstalled both keyboard and mouse ps/2 earlier and they went back after restart. About the chkdsk, I just mentioned that I did the test earlier within Windows, but as you requested to do it before boot, so I did it, and again, it reported no errors. I've also disabled/enabled fast startup yesterday before posting here and it didn't change anything. The last thing I want is to reinstall Windows completely or lose my settings, if possible.

BTW, it's really hot where I live. So it's normal to have high temperatures. Ultimately I do my best to control them.

When you do a repair install of Windows 10 you wont lose any of your personal settings, personal files and installed programs.
