Great.
Run the command dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth again in an elevated commandprompt and report the result.
 
Great. Any remaining issues ?
 
It's all good, Peter! Once again, thank you very much for your help. All the best to you!
 
[Update] I was able to fix the initial issue (slow Windows startup) by disabling the "fast startup" feature in the power settings (which is ironic 🤪).
Apparently there was a problem with the hibernation file (hiberfil.sys).

Just a possible solution for those who are experiencing the same problem and find this thread. 😄
