Since I have added a second monitor there I have had a couple of problems. One was that the first time you booted up and logged in, it went to a black screen. I solved this by disabling fast boot.

The problem now is that the first windows page (that shows the blue windows sign with dots spinning and a black background) takes AGES. It does always boot up, but it is so slow. It is strange because once booted up the PC runs as usual with no issues.

How can I improve startup time with a second monitor?

How are the screens connected to the pc, they should both be going into the gpu,

you can try the usual fixes for that
* download DDU. restart to safemode. run DDU. clean Nvidia. restart to normal mode. install latest Nvidia driver.
* open nvidia control panel. 3d graphic settings. power mode to adaptive/high.

if its not your dual screen setup. then try
* disable Fast Startup.
* check your startup programs. maybe your slow boot time is not related to your new monitor. you may have installed a new software recently.

I have tried the above suggestions to no avail. This is painful doing every step as each time I restart it can take 15 minutes.

Do we have any other suggestions?

Fixed it but still not entirely sure which thing did it.

I cleared registry, uninstalled lots of programs, disabled windows update service on startup, disabled several programs on startup.

You only show one storage device (SSD), and it is not very large. Is is possible it was getting filled up? Best to leave at least 10% of it's capacity free.
