Thank you Ed. I hope that it will help @GarySt to solve his problem.
Thanks Zine, the trouble shooter!
I have completed both of your suggestions: the noMachine was uninstalled; and the Intel tool was updated.
Though it did help a bit by reducing the boot up time by about 10 sec, it's still about 100 sec total, as the boot record below shows:

Any further suggestions?
Actually I don't know how to find out if I did install the new Intel Management Engine driver; I did run the tool I downloaded but I'm not sure the driver was updated.
Okay, I've worked out something now, but I'm not sure about it:
Zine was correct! The problem was with Intel Management Engine Driver. I downloaded the latest one, and presumably ran it. But the driver did not seem to be updated, and in fact in the Device Manager it said that this driver has a problem and "cannot start", or something like that. So I simply Disabled this driver (in the Device Manager), and the boot up time now is very quick again (~10 sec) !
Question: is it okay to disable this driver?
Sorry for hijacking the thread. I'm facing similar problems with my Dell Inspiron 15 5577. It boots up very slowly and this has been happening since I updated my laptop to Windows 10 April Update.
I've uploaded the Windows Performance Recorder files, could someone please guide why it takes a long time to boot.

Hi @aby,
You have opened a thread related to your problem So I'll reply there Long shutdown and restart time in Windows 10
Update:
Your boot trace was not well recorded, run the command I posted in the new thread.
did you ran this command with the "-filemode" at the end ? wpr -start GeneralProfile -start CPU -onoffscenario Boot -onoffresultspath c:\wpr -numiterations 1 -filemode
I can't see the boot phases in your trace !
Yes, I did.
I hope you have analyzed the file which I compressed.
