That time stated is excessive. It's possible that W10 may be doing an update in the background, or re-configuring after the previous one. Also possible that another background program may be updating. It may therefore be a one off. If this is the time taken for every boot-up, the machine is diseased, and needs to be taken to a doctor.
Yesterday afternoon I was at an church event where hymns from a W10 driven computer were to be projected onto the screen. However it announced that it was "Upgrading - Do not turn off your Computer" and after somewhere between five and ten minutes had passed it was still stuck on the turning worm with only 7% completed. The time to start the show had arrived; the screen was shut down and the hymn books were brought out! One would possibly be a little disappointed if this happened at the start of a major PP presentation in a business conference.
Good job cars (for example) don't behave this way!
