Current PC build:
CPU i5 12400f
GPU rtx 3060
16 gb RAM
SSD: 1 TB Kingston SA400S27960G

My PC has been always running pretty fine, taking like 25 sec to boot, with only the MSI logo of the motherboard appearing and then just the login screen.

For the past 1 or 2 months, my computer has been taking about 40 seconds to boot; after the MSI logo screen, the "Please Wait" message also appears now.

If I remember correctly, it started happening after a Windows update.

All my drivers are up to date, especially the SSD. Do you recommend a complete reinstall of Windows as a last resort? If so, what's the best way to do it? Or are there other options?
