Realtek SoundWire HW Audio Codec slow boot
Dell Precision 5760, slow boot with enabled Realtek SoundWire HW Audio Codec.
when i disable Realtek SoundWire HW Audio Codec in device manager booting is 40 seconds faster!
i have testet different drivers:
best found driver has a delay of 20 seconds: Realtek-Audio-Driver_HH84T_WIN_10.0.66.160_A06.EXE
with all other drivers i have a delay of 40 seconds.
similar problem here:

i never had a laptop that needs so much time to boot.
No Events found!

success, today i installed Realtek-High-Definition-Audio-Driver_TT1D9_WIN_10.0.220.1_A81.EXE
now reboot is fast, with enabled soundcard delay is about 5 secs (in previous driver version there was a delay of 50 seconds).

Having the same problem on my XPS. Disabling the Realtek driver literally boosts boot time by almost a minute.

only reboot is delayed, normal boot (shutdown and boot) - seems always to be fast.
I'm disappointed too. I'm surprised that so few complain about this fact. every customer should notice that.

Extremely slow boot times on the Precision 5760 here as well. I don't see a "Realtek SoundWire HW Audio Codec" in device manager to disable.
Are the other users having trouble with slow boot using a dock as well? I've had problems with my dock since day one, often having to unplug and restart the dock multiple times to get the dock to recognize the laptop has been plugged in. The laptop seems to boot slightly faster when not docked.
