Hi, hope there's someone who sees this that can help.

So for a while I've been having the issue where sometimes my pc boots in 20 sec and other times it takes about an hour. It's either one of those 2, and it's never 45min, not 1.5h, always close to an hour.

I've noticed some pattern where it seems to be that when I leave it running overnight, next time I restart it it takes 1h, but if I shut it down before roughly midnight if I've freshly started it up that day then the next day it'll boot in 20 sec.

I've googled a lot on this but can't find anything other than advice where it says clean up startup programs or upgrading memory/storage, because that's clearly not the issue.

Just now I waited an hour for my pc to start before I could start work because I forgot to turn it on earlier today, and then once it started up about half an hour into being in a deep work process we had a neighbourhood power blackout. The blackout only took a couple of minutes but my pc now again is doing the thing where it's taking an hour to start up. Insert mind blown emoji x 10

Thank you and kind regards
