Ever since I did a clean install of windows 10 about two years back my computer has been very slow to boot on an SSD. I recently took a WPR of it and discovered the Session Init phase is taking 100+ seconds to complete.

Here is an image of the WPA screen, https://i.stack.imgur.com/lkLpg.jpg, here are my system specs, https://i.stack.imgur.com/huUYo.jpg, and here is a pastebin of my following steps in Newish Windows 10 installation taking ~ 20 minutes in the pre session init phase.

The only thing that I have gathered from looking at it is that it has something to do with Smss.exe but I'm not familiar enough with WPR to be able to deduce anything else. Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance.

Looks like you have the same issue like the user here, where the Intel(R) Management Engine Interface which corresponds to the hardware ID PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_8CBA&SUBSYS_85341043&REV_00\3&11583659&0&B0 (\Driver\MEIx64 - MEIx64.sys) causes the delay

Disable this device in device manager, you don't need this in normal home usage.
