here are the two locations that the driver was being loaded from:
C:\Program Files\Corsair\Corsair Device Control Service\bin\CorsairLLAccess64.sys Mon Feb 5 01:17:49 2024
C:\Program Files\Corsair\Corsair iCUE5 Software\CorsairLLAccess64.sys Thu Jul 25 00:15:07 2024
for the slow bootup: you might turn on windows verbose logging and maybe it can help tell you what it is waiting on.

I normally only use it for slow shutdowns but it might for slow restarts.
you might go into task manager: (delete this)
Win>Task Scheduler>Task Scheduler Library>ASUS>EZUpdate right-click and delete.
you should check if (aura)
LightingService.exe conflicts with icue software
note:
amdsafd.sys is in D3, other drivers are at D0
some files might be running out of a hidden directory.
or they might me memory mapped files.
this tool should be able to show them.
