Windows 10: Startup takes longer than usual after update

Hello,For the past month or so, my laptop has been taking much longer than usual to start up. When I turn it on, I see the Windows logo and then a grey screen for at least 5 minutes before I see the sign-in screen. This issue began after I installed a recent update. I tried running Startup Repair, which finished with a message that it couldn't repair the laptop, and the log file E:\Windows\System32\Logfiles\Srt\SrtTrail.txtI have also tried running sfc/scannow, which found corrupted files and fixed them, but the problem still remains. If anybody has any suggestions about what to do to fix this

:)
