Takes 2+ Minutues to Boot!

Hello everyone!

I'm on Zorin Pro 16.3.

Suddenly the boot time of Zorin increased to 2+ minutes!

The recent change I did to Zorin is:

Boot from Live USB, using GParted, I extend the zorin os partition.

Note: I was unable to extend as my swap partition was in the middle of both freespace and ext4 partitions. So, I deleted the swap partition (I didn't create the swap partition again as I found it's not needed for a 16GB RAM laptop where no hibernate or memory extended tasks are used)

I think after this the boot is taking too much time. As far as I know, I never noticed this delay.

Note: I'm on Windows 11 Dual Boot

Please let me know if I did anything wrong, and please help if there is any workaround!

Adding some useful data:

Thanks
