Windows 10: Sudden longer startup times

I have Windows 10 installed on my SSD and it normally takes around 5-10 seconds for my PC to startup. Just recently though the startup times have been upwards of 30 seconds. The first screen is normally the ASUS logo with the text on the bottom saying 'Press DEL or F2 for the BIOS settings' where I barely had 1 second to read this before the screen goes black and then the login screen appears. Now I'm stuck at the ASUS logo screen for about 10-20 seconds and then occasionally a buffering icon appears afterwards on a black screen for around 20-30 seconds and then I can login.

I have no idea what I could've done to cause this, but this problem still persists even after scanning for malware, updating Windows and checking I have fast startup enabled in the BIOS settings.

Can't get GPU-Z to start with Windows 8.1 startup

I'm not sure how to do that. Could you list the steps for a noob?

 

laptop doesnt boot automatically

This is what happened.

1. Did a repair install and later disabled hibertnate in CMD.
2. Enabled legacy option ROM in BIOS.
3. After a few times startup ( i used the system in such mode for 5 days), changed boot option back to default.
4. Vola!! It boots automatically to win10 without any keypress. Tested it with many starts to confirm the same.
5. Re-enabled hibernate option using CMD and later selected Fast Startup.
6. System booted normally, without the need for any keypress.

I do not know exactly whether such steps resolved the problem or what else happened, hence cannot suggest above steps.

Many thanks to all members who helped to troubleshoot problems.
