Long Initial Boot Time

Question

Hello. I have had this problem for over 2 months and I still am not able to fix it. To summarize the problem, when I close my laptop for a long time (around 3-4 hours maybe?) when I reopen it the boot time will take super long. There will be no spinning circle. And then I will get a small "click" noise and it will start spinning and boot up. I have checked the BIOS Time from the task manager when this occurred and it said around 150 seconds. The funny thing is if I close my computer, wait like 15-20 mins and re open it, it will take around 5-10 seconds to boot up. I have tried everything:

• Reinstalled Windows on SSD and HDD
• Disabled Fast Startup from both BIOS and Power Options
• Tried to use bootlog to check for drivers
• Tried doing SFC scans and every possible scan there is and says no problem.

I don't know how to fix this. I have read somewhere that it may be a UEFI problem where it doesnt know where to find the initial boot but idk how to solve this. Would really appreciate the help I have been dealing with this for so long. Thanks in advance!

Ok done ! Now I guess we have to wait till morning and see what happens. Should I re enable the startup programs and the things I turned off from the System Configurations ?
