Manjaro boots up slowly after the error mesage " Timed out waiting for device /dev/disk/by-uuid"

I am using Manjaro KDE plasma. It used to boot up very quickly, but now it shows an error message for a minute before it boots up. Here is the complete error message

(i referred other posts regarding similar issue, but i think it’s little different)

/dev/sda1: clean , 1242362/30490624  files, 24726998/121938688 blocks
Timed out waiting for device /dev/disk/by-uuid
Dependency failed for swaps

And it eventually boots up, i guess it is because of swaps, not sure.
Manjaro is istalled at /dev/sda1
Swap is at /dev/sda4
Here is the output of cat /etc/fstab

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.

# Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a device; this may
# be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices that works even if
# disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).

You seem to have two entries for the same thing. Remove UUID= none swap defaults 0 0 as root and try again. AFAIK you won’t have 2 swap partitions so removing that entry shouldn’t have any affect. If you are not sure you can check your swap partitions/swap files with swapon --show.
