LO takes 1min 15s to start after Windows reboot

[clem_clem]

Here are the steps:

• I reboot my windows computer
• I start LO either by clicking on a writer/calc document or by calling it from the command line
• LO takes about 1min 15s to start.
• If I close it and try to restart then LO loads in 2-3s

Here are the solutions I’ve already tried and that didn’t work:

• disabled network cards
• turned printer on
• Changed default printer to system pdf printer
• Deactivated loading printer setting within the document
• changed history picklist size from 25 to 2
• Changed Graphics options in: Tools → Options → LibreOffice → View → Graphics Output unchecked Use anti-aliasing and Use Skia and User hardware acceleration
• Disabled Java
• start in safemode --safe-mode and reset to factory settings
• Disabled OpenGL

My system:

• OS Name Microsoft Windows 10 Home
• System Model G3 3579
• Processor Intel(R) Core™ i7-8750H CPU @ 2.20GHz, 2208 Mhz, 6 Core(s), 12 Logical Processor(s)
• Installed Physical Memory (RAM) 16.0 GB

My LO version

• Version: 7.4.2.3 (x64) / LibreOffice Community
• Build ID: 382eef1f22670f7f4118c8c2dd222ec7ad009daf
• CPU threads: 12; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19044; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win
• Locale: en-US (en_US); UI: en-US
• Calc: threaded

2 questions from there:

• what’s the root cause?
• Is there a way to run LO in verbose mode or other mode that would help me debug?

Thanks for the help!

Frequent Crashing of Libreoffice Writer 7.3.2.6 - Windows 10

Also try to repair LibreOffice in Windows “Programs and Features”. First steps to take before submitting a bug General Installation Issues (Windows)

I’m running a new install (re-installed LO yesterday) so that’s probably not the issue?
I tried to find the repair option in the page you pointed to but couldn’t find it.

Any stray snake oil aka antivirus in use?

I uninstalled Avast and turned Windows Virus & Threat Protection off. No improvement. Good idea though.

From the moment I hit Enter on Windows log in till LO 7.4.2.1 (parallel install) Writer is loaded and ready is 56 seconds. Subsequent opening on same session is around 10 seconds.

I can extend the time to load to 1 minute 8 seconds if I create a default template with embed fonts but the difference is not significant.

I think it is normal for first loading to take longer otherwise there would not be the option to set Quick Start on loading OS (load libraries I think) when installing a new version.

I just activated Quickstarter and now first open takes 15s. That solved it, thanks @EarnestAl !
