Windows 10 taking almost 10 minutes to boot (with SSD)

I used to have this problem when I updated SATA/AHCI driver.
If you use an updated driver, try to revert it to the MS default.
If it is MS default, use the one made by the manufacturer.

Great!

After removing this driver (and after a couple of bsod, which were solved by booting into safe mode) I am now able to boot my PC (from shutdown) in around 25 seconds!

Unfortunately, the "reboot" time is still around 10 minutes. Fast startup seems to be solved with your fix, but not the normal boot.

I will attach "boot" and "fast startup" WPR logs, if you could please check what else might help.

Fast startup:
WeTransfer

Boot:
WeTransfer



But again, boot trace shows less than 300 seconds in WPR trace.

Thanks for your help!

Fast startup:

These pictures make no sense for me. Cannot see anything that differ both boots in around 9 minutes...

Your results show:
Fast startup: 128 seconds
Boot: 146 seconds

Where are you getting 9 minutes from?

If I run a stopwatch (mobile or any other) after rebooting the laptop, it will load the welcome screen after 9-10 minutes. These trace for the boot, DID took 10 minutes. So this is totally a fake time, or else it is considerering that the system is booted, but still showing winodws logo + spinning circle...

You are timing the reboot time not boot time. The boot trace is timing the boot time.

Turn your computer off. Turn it back on and time how long it takes to boot to the desktop. Of course, this not really the boot time because there is still a lot of background tasks running. A computer is not really booted until these tasks are done. The problem is how do you know when to stop the stopwatch when these are done.
======================================================================
If you really want to time the restart time use this batch file.

Download Restart-Time [2].bat in this post Win10 Restart-Time

Notes on this

To minimize activity during shutdown do it this way
1. Shutdown computer
2. Restart computer
3. Log in
4. Immediately run Restart-Time [2].bat
5. Computer will shut down and restart

Your result will look something like this:
