With the Launcher configured to automatically start your DXLab applications, the recommended diagnostic test for "slow startup" is
1. reboot Windows into "Safe mode with networking"
2. note the time
3. start the Launcher
4. subtract the time noted at step 2 from the current time to determine "safe mode startup time"
Note that Commander and DXView may complain about non-existing serial ports, as Windows does not boot serial port device drivers when started in Safe mode
5. Reboot Windows normally
6. note the time
7. start the Launcher
8. subtract the time noted at step 6 from the current time to determine "normal startup time"
If "normal startup time" is significantly longer than "normal startup time", then one or more of the applications that Windows is configured to automatically start when booted normally is likely responsible; anti-malware applications are typically - but not always - the culprit. See
