Slow boot after Update
I've been having a problem with a number of computers taking very long to boot up.
I decided to test on a new system. The system is is a brand new Lenovo M910s with a 256GB SSD.
When I first start up the system boot time is very fast. I rebooted a number of times just to make sure.
Then I ran Windows update which installed all the updates including the newest feature update.
Now the computer takes 3 minutes to boot up.
I tried updating drivers to see if that would help but it made no difference.
If anyone has any ideas on how to fix this I would really appreciate it.

Thanks for your reply.
I updated the BIOS to the latest version. Does not seem to have made any difference.
I had left the computer on over night so indexing should have been done.

Look for legacy software, legacy antivirus.
On one problem computer, uninstall the antivirus, and do a Windows 10 Repair Install and Keep Everything. Allow Windows Defender to run.

Windows 10 is running, so click on the Download button (not Upgrade Button, select Open (Run) but NOT Save. Allow the program to run. Allow drivers to update. Then select Keep Everything.
Does this computer now boot properly?

I am trying this on a brand new computer. No additional anitivirus installed. The only thing done to it was Windows Updates.
We have done a number of new computer and zero issue with booting.
If no software and no antivirus , then check updating and indexing as suggested above and then call the Manufacturer.
A new computer (especially Lenovo) with no software should be mostly ready to go in about 30 seconds with an SSD drive.

Better look for WindowsUpdate.log or CBS.Log file for any discrepancies in the windows update.
Check for the statup/logon scripts if any.
Final solution.
You can capture the dump in the Windows Performance Recorder tool by selecting the Boot as a Performance Scenario.
Then analyze it in the Windows Performance Analyzer.

It should be easy to diagnose if you only watch closely.
->install win 10 v1709 clean, measure boot times. Update 1709 (don't install the latest feature update, yet), measure again, install 1803, measure, install updates for 1803, measure.

You wrote "Now the computer takes 3 minutes to boot up." - that would mean "on each boot". Software installation happens only once. Or did you intend to write ""Now the computer takes 3 minutes to boot up only on the very first boot after domain joining"?

I have a couple of my own computers and a number of client computers that do not exhibit this behaviour but work just fine.
Did you update BIOS (needed) and Chipset? It may be trying to still update.
It may be trying to index (for search) but with an SSD drive that should be done in an hour.
See if these things help and then post back.
