Hello, I got my PC in 2018 and it worked fine for a year or so. Afterwards I started noticing that the boot times were getting slower but they didn't bother me that much. According to event viewer, the Boot Duration was 144375ms 6 months ago, this morning was at 431918ms with most of the time being on BootUserProfileProcessingTime.
As for what I see when I boot up is that it goes through the BIOS pretty fast but then it gets stuck on the Windows logo for a long time. However it doesn't end there as after I login, the startup itself is also sluggish and I have to wait for a while until everything runs normally. If it's any help, I would just leave it to hibernate for the first year until I started getting freezes/crashes after waking up while working with Photoshop/playing games until I rebooted and subsequently it would boot up into a black screen that'd stay for a long time before showing me the login screen (for this I turned off Fast Boot and it would show the logo again but the boot would remain just as slow).
Did driver updates, malware scans, CrystalDisk shows both HDDs as healthy, RAM tests, GPU stress tests but nothing seems to have showed or done anything.

I am not very tech savvy so I feel like it's something very obvious that is causing this but I don't know what.
