Hey, I have a weird situation.
You can see the specs in my profile, but the cold boot takes a bit longer than usual now, even with the current 1602 BIOS.
When I started using this, it took about 20 seconds to get to desktop, without seeing the lock screen before logging in. Now, it's taking a bit longer, when I saw the lock screen icons and the mouse before auto-logging in.
You have a large number of startup programs. From that screen you can disable some programs so they don't start up by right clicking on them and selecting disable. That way you might be able to narrow it down to one program. The last BIOS time is normal from my experience (20-24 seconds), so I would think it is an OS or startup programs problem.
Another possibility are services related to the programs. You might want to go into msconfig and disable some non-Microsoft services. You should also look at event viewer under administrative events for errors.
I have found that for inexplicable long startups it is usually due to a failing hardware component. You can try diagnostics on hard drives first to see if you have issues there.
