"The solutions and answers provided on Experts Exchange have been extremely helpful to me over the last few years. I wear a lot of hats - Developer, Database Administrator, Help Desk, etc., so I know a lot of things but not a lot about one thing. Experts Exchange gives me answers from people who do know a lot about one thing, in a easy to use platform." -Todd S.

Run Services >> find print spooler >> and stop it, then retest to check if that is the cause of problem.
If it is taking that long it means there is a printer that is either offline or having issues. You might want to see if there is a printer that is grayed out and remove it.
if that didn't fix the issue, then do the same and stop Bluetooth service and retest.
Also set them to Automatic, and retest.
