According to boot repair

is what was used, however your boot order has 0000 first in the boot order.
let see if changing the boot order to make /efi/ubuntu/shimx64.efi first helps, from a terminal
Code:
sudo efibootmgr -o 000E,001C,0000,001D,001E,0011,0003,0017,0019,0004,0008,000C,000D,0009
reboot.
After rebooting, if it is still slow open a terminal and run
Code:
efibootmgr
to see if the boot order changed. If not you may have to go into the firmware/bios to change the boot order.

Here's what I'm dealing with
60 seconds after I turn on computer before anything happens.
100 seconds after the mint logo
45 seconds to get to the password login
45 second before I can type a password.
15 seconds after the password and Mint is running.

I also tried changing the boot order in bios and nothing changed. Everything works in both OSs but it takes time. Btw, thanks for your patience.

At the grub menu, highlight the linux mint entry, press e for edit, at the line that begins with linux delete the two words "splash quiet" press ctrl-x or f10 to boot. You will be able to see where the boot process hangs.

What are the specs of your system, processor, memory, graphics card.

I can't get cat to work. Here's the time recorded by the system.

systemd-analyze
Startup finished in 1min 11.516s (firmware) + 12.295s (loader) + 1min 8.910s (kernel) + 24.097s (userspace) = 2min 56.820s
graphical.target reached after 24.081s in userspace

I am surprised by this output. Why would the kernel take one minute (which is way too long even on a slow system) when the problem is supoposed to be on an EFI boot level, which I suppose should be the previous step?
But I admit I know very little about EFI.
Just to clarify, please also post

It boots much faster but no where near what it was before installing 20.1. Whatever happened with the install slowed the entire boot system for both OSs. I'm getting boot errors now on Linux. Is there a way to record them so they can be shown here? For example, "Cannot find TOCBLOCK, database may be corrupt." My system is up to date so I'd be nice if it could fix itself (search boot errors and fix).

The folder exists, but there's nothing in it.

the two that is the slowest is fwupd and upower. A quick search of fwupd came across this

I didn't find anything on upower.

He writes, "The GUI login appears seconds after hitting the power button"

I wish. That's only one part of the problem. I have a 60 or 70-second pause before I see the boot menu.
Then, additional pauses after the logo, and on and after the password page. Password is better now. It takes around 9 seconds before I can type anything. It used to be 45 seconds. I'll try removing all USB devices (the X-Box issue in the link) and see if that makes a difference. There are many USB errors after the boot process begins.

Thanks for all the time you put into this. I'm thinking it's as good as it's going to be for now and I'll adapt to it. As long as I can access both OSs I'm okay with the wait.

I'll also see if I can get up an update to my bios and then maybe a new reinstall. I see there are two Windows partitions stuck in the middle of the Linux partitions after I reinstalled Windows twice. The last reinstall of Linux gave me a boot menu, but also downloaded over 100MG during the installation. Previously I didn't give Linux access to the Internet until after it was installed, which may have caused some of the problems. I watched the system monitor during the last install and there was a big spike in Internet access at the very end of the install. I wish I'd have written down how much was downloaded but who'd have thought of it?

Thanks again.

It was the USB port for my backup drive.

Thanks. It's appreciated. I learned a lot on top of getting it fixed. Add USB devices AFTER the boot. Totally works.
