If the loading time is due to Windows and not during the bios bootup, it could possibly be a fucked update process getting stuck. Might be worth looking into clearing the windows update cache

As Dom and Noodle pointed out. It really depends on which point is taking the longest. If it's before the Windows logo then your hardware might be stuffed. If it's at the Windows logo or later then odds are it's software. If it's software you can try to see if safe mode boots faster and/or check the logs in Windows.

Alright, so I just rebooted and ran a stop watch to make sure I wasn't crazy. It was at the Asus loading screen for about 3:35, and then the lights on my keyboard lit up and it got to the Windows screen about 10 seconds later.
As for what changed the last 3 months, really nothing that I can recall. I really don't reboot the computer much so it is hard to pinpoint when it actually started happening, I am just estimating.
Here is the event viewer for right after I booted up.

Quick and easy things..
Run Wise Registry Cleaner
www.wisecleaner.com
Reset your BIOS to default. Also, look around in the BIOS for Fullscreen Boot Logo. Turn that off so you can see what the BIOS is doing while the PC is booting.

My bad, I assumed (yeah I know) you were getting past the Boot screen because you didn't mention it in your first post.
Another simple thing is to unplug all external hardware, and plug back in JUST your KB/Mouse (screen of course) into different USB ports, and preferably a different USB bank if you can.
If they are wireless, just move the receiver to a different bank/port. (or Bluetooth? based on that error at the bottom) See if that changes anything. Quick and dirty.

BIOS is mad at some device in your PC. Agree with unplugging shit.
Do you hear any beeps ? Do PCs still have a POST beep?
Could be the drive

Done
Booted into safe mode, and it took just as long, if not longer, to boot up

Ran the tool and it cleaned up a bunch of stuff.
Changed the BIOS to fullscreen, and now it just shows the Windows logo instead of the Asus logo after POST and that is where it takes 3+ minutes to fully boot up.
Tried this as well.
No beeps or anything.
So I tried all of the above, and it is still doing the same thing.

Do you have ONLY an ssd or do you have other HDDs?
Is your SSD set to AHCI in BIOS (not IDE)?

That says it doesn't affect Restart. I set it anyway, and same issuethere's actually a setting for booting faster, gets turned off in updates in win10
I do have other HDD's that are connected via an external enclosure. I had already unplugged those at one point when I tried one of the reboots.
I went through all the BIOS settings and I only saw once place that even mentioned AHCI, and it was set there.

Yes. I have one cable that goes into the back of the PC which has my 3 other HDD's connected to it in the enclosure. I unplugged that, and I don't have a DVD drive. My SSD was the only one left connected.
Might just be time to bite the bullet and reformat while you still have access to the system to back up everything. Tossing windows on a seperate drive and only having that one connected to see if it still happens would probably be a wise thing to do first though

You only need to do one run of 500mb to get an idea of the drive itself is going TU.

Another simple thing: swap out the SATA cable.
Also run System File Checker

Yeah that is what I was afraid of. Most of my data is stored in my external HDD's, so it will really just be re-doing my settings and everything once it is installed.

That length of time during bootup makes me think that there's some sort of (de)compression or (d)encryption going on. Do you have some sort of bitlocker thing going on or anything of the sort?

Not sure what any of that means
It means your SSD is performing at nearly is maximum capacity...which is good. DON'T REFORMAT IT. Back up all your shit now. Browser bookmarks, furry porn, etc.
You did the /sfc thing, right? That looks for fucked up OS files and repairs them.
You reset the BIOS to defaults, right?
