My computer is taking forever to boot, I'm talking like 5 minutes to boot and is super slow but eventually after waiting like 20 minutes it starts to go back to normal. This happens every time I get on it. I did a CDI report on my SSD which Windows 10 boots off of and it says it still good. Any suggestions?

The fast answer is to shut down your computer as seldom as possible, but I know that's an unpopular option and doesn't solve your underlying issue.
Press ctrl + shift + esc together to access the task manager and select the startup tab. If there are many programs that have a 'high' impact on startup, that may be why it takes your computer forever to get to a usable state. A common culprit for slow booting is anti-virus software like Norton. You can turn off the auto-scan option on your anti-malware and anti-virus software on boot up, and instead run it when the computer is usable by you.
Hope this helps.

Try Reset PC. It worked for me.
