I am using Manjaro KDE Plasma on my HP Pavilion 15t cs200 laptop. It has Intel i7 8565U, Intel UHD 620 Graphics, and 1TB HDD.
The booting time is about 2 minutes. It is abnormal even for HDD. My GRUB timing is 2 seconds. About 1:30 minutes are spent on the black screen with the following text.
/dev/sda10: clean, 522270/15081472 files, 7445217/60296192 blocks
Manjaro is installed in sda10 as I have dual-booted my system with Windows 10 and Manjaro. Is there any fix to solve this slow booting process?

Hello 
!
Do you have the package haveged (The Entropy Pool Harvesting Daemon) installed and is it’s service enabled? It sometimes is necessary to install & enable haveged to avoid slow boot times.
If not, you may want to run the command
sudo pacman -Syu haveged && sudo systemctl enable --now haveged
to install & enable haveged.
Additionally, in case the above does not work, the output of the command
env LANG=C inxi --admin --verbosity=7 --filter --no-host --width
would be helpful to diagnose your system further by providing some info about your system.
If you have any further questions, feel free to ask them.
I installed and enabled haveged. But, the booting time is still the same.
Here is the output of the command that you asked

Can you reboot your PC and right after booting execute this command:
systemd-analyze blame
and post here the output?

I use snap to install various software that is not available on the official repository.
I don’t rely on log files. I just used journalctl --vacuum-time=2weeks to clear log files.

So the biggest thing is gone, that’s good.
Can you post output of:
systemd-analyze
The next thing is lvm2-monitor.service which I’m pretty sure can be masked.
@Ernest1337
[amartyasinha918@amartya-hp ~]$ systemd-analyze
Startup finished in 3.519s (firmware) + 3.585s (loader) + 4.985s (kernel) + 32.550s (userspace) = 44.640s
graphical.target reached after 30.477s in userspace
This is the output of systemd-analyze
userspace is taking most time
Try doing:
sudo systemctl mask lvm2-monitor.service
rebooting and checking systemd-analyze
