| Apr 19 at 3:26 | comment | added | DrMoishe Pippik | Two other sources of delay: 1. When Windows boots or emerges from hibernation, it scans system file.. For about ten minutes afterwards, I find Windows PC's are far slower than they should be. 2. After a restart, DLL's are unloaded. The first time an app is run afterwards, it takes quite a bit longer for it to start. The workaround is to use Sleep, which avoids the rescan of system files and the reloading of DLL's -- but the down-side is that the PC is on continuously, albeit at greatly reduced power. | |

| Apr 19 at 1:21 | comment | added | Harry McKenzie | @John your suggestion did help a lot now my Chrome and Inkscape open way quicker. Thank you soo much! But Blender 2.93 up to 3.4 still take very long time to open. Maybe because they are the hacked versions that were designed for Windows 7 but I think generally your solution is the answer I think. | |

I had similar symptoms on an SSD that was too old to support TRIM. Your 840 Pro supports it, but it might still be good to check that trimming is happening in dfrgui.exe (SSD current status should say "OK (n days since last retrim)". Separately, I'd want to rule out antivirus as a potential performance drain.

| Apr 19 at 0:20 | comment | added | Ramhound | Are you installing these applications to the SSD or the HDD? | |
| Apr 19 at 0:20 | comment | added | anon | 20 minutes is simply too long. Try DISM / SFC (although I have my doubts) (1) Open cmd.exe with Run as Administrator. (2) DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /StartComponentCleanup (3) DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /Restorehealth (4) SFC /SCANNOW (5) Restart when all the above is complete and test. If that fails, then try a Windows 11 Repair Install from the Microsoft Media Creation Link. Keep just Data and then reinstall your Apps slowly and see if 1 or 2 are breaking your system. | |
