Long boot time after installing Geforce driver

This problem is driving me crazy. I recently reinstalled Windows 10. At first boot it worked fine, it even worked fine with the Windows Update provided Geforce driver, but after installing the latest, my computer will sit at the Windows boot screen for a minute or more, often more, with no hard drive access for long stretches of time. So, I decided to try uninstalling the Geforce driver, booting into Safe Mode, cleaning out any remnants, rebooting, then installing the newest driver. It still ended up with a long boot time. So, I decided to clean install Windows 10 again, without letting the install USB download any updates so there would be no Geforce driver installed on first boot, then went and installed the newest Geforce driver on this newest install. I still ended up with a long boot time, not to mention ready to tear all of my hair out of my head.

Okay, started to go and try out older drivers, after uninstalling the drivers, rebooting into Safe Mode and cleaning them out using Display Driver Uninstaller, I decided to do a cold boot before installing another version (as long boot times seem to only show up during a cold boot, not on restarts). Even with the driver fully uninstalled and cleaned out, I got a long boot time, like a couple minutes just sitting on the Windows boot screen. Now I'm questioning if it's really the Geforce driver and not something else I installed after setting up all my usual programs again. The things I installed are Amarok music player, KMyMoney, which is financial software, Steam, LibreOffice (Microsoft Office alternative), and the DirectX 9 Redistributable for some games.

This is after uninstalling and cleaning the drivers out, but before installing new ones, so no Geforce driver installed at all.
