Description
I am attempting to resolve the issue of an extremely slow login process following the boot on my Ubuntu 22.04 system. While the booting time is relatively fast and does not pose any issues, logging in as a user for the first time is taking several minutes to complete the process. Even after successfully logging in, it takes a while for the desktop to fully load and become usable.
Has anyone else experienced a similar issue on Ubuntu 22.04, and if so, do you know of any potential solutions?

#Edit#
I updated the kernel version according to this site: https://itsfoss.com/upgrade-linux-kernel-ubuntu/ to the v6.2.10 and it slightly helped but the logging time is too slow.
