Significant delay at Windows welcome screen after minifilter install

I just installed software that utilizes minifilter or minifilters (developed by OSR, in fact), following which I noticed a significant delay at the Windows welcome screen during boot-up. On my laptop which has an SSD, the delay is about 2 minutes 45 seconds on each reboot.

I am pretty sure it's related to the minifilters. I am on Windows 10 20H2 OS Build 19042.1110, and otherwise take good care of my system.

I'd like to know if this is normal, and if so, whether there's a workaround for it.

Many thanks in advance.

    This purpose of this forum, as you know for reading the Forum Guidelines, is to help professional developers of Windows system software. It is not to,provide end user support for any product.

    Having said that: I’d file a bug with your software vendor. A 2 minute delay is in neither “normal” nor acceptable. Talk with your vendor.
