It's caused by the latest audio driver update. Remove it and reboot and i bet it's back to normal. It's a recent audio driver that is causing it. I have already reported the finding to DELL support. Happened on an entire shipment recently from them. Ran supportassist and immediately after, the slow reboots started.
Thank you! We have received the required details. We will work towards a resolution. In the meantime, you may also receive assistance or suggestions from the community members.
Rolling back to 6.0.9098.1 also solved the problem for me. Many thanks.
I was skeptical because it seems to be a BIOS problem (the delay is on the BIOS loading page before Windows boot kicks in) but this seems to have fixed the problem. I can only assume that the driver installation writes something to BIOS.
The Rollback driver worked in the past, but recently after a Windows Update, my driver is at 6.0.9210.1 again with slow boot. Using Rollback does not work, it won't revert.
Is there any place to download the old driver ? (6.0.9098.1) I do not find under the drivers for my PC - only the latest.
BTW, Dell, could you please fix that problem - thx.
Thanks , it works For me, I uninstalled the latest audio driver (Realtek Audio Driver), and I installed 6.0.9210.1, A10 it worked now the speed is so fast.

Just to update, Dell released a new Audio driver A12 (v6.0.9257.1) on 30 Nov 2021, it addressed slow boot issue.

While waiting for the fix, I am using the old version (6.0.9098.1, A0901 Feb 2021), it does not have this problem.

I think you need to download and install an older version.
Scroll down to "Other Available Versions"
