    Programs taking long time to start

    Thanks for all the help but, I'm just going to put up with it. Games have no issues, most of my other apps don't have issues. It's just Office, Photoshop and a few other Adobe apps - Premiere Pro, After Effects - (Although other Adobe apps - Acrobat, Audition - load instantly, so I don't even...

    No one told me. It actually happened. Current Gigabyte motherboards have a downloader in the BIOS that automatically runs when you install Windows.

    The motherboard that I have - Gigabyte GA-B650 AORUS ELITE AX - actually automatically does that on the first run of windows. I installed the Crucial nvme drivers after that. I didn't install the graphics driver though.

    Okeydoke. I have the day off work so I could spare the time for this. I disconnected all my drives and then connected a spare HDD that I have. I installed windows, then installed MS Office and Adobe Photoshop - as they're the main culprits. I got the same result: When I double click the icon...

    Programs taking long time to start

    I haven't installed windows on a different drive because the amount of time it would take to do that and reinstall all my programs, I'd rather just put up with the slow loading times. That being said, Windows is on a M.2 drive and all my other drives are slower speeds, so I don't want to take...

    Programs taking long time to start

    I copied and pasted my post from another forum where I posted a couple of months ago and never got any replies. So, at the time, it was all brand new. So, yes, Windows and all other programs were installed fresh in this computer. My D drive is where I install my programs - unless they are ones...

    Yeah, way too painful lol. I think if it was the ssd, then it would happen every time I run a particular program, not just the first time. Also, this particular drive is the same one I used in my old intel system and I never had any problems with load times. Also, and I'm sorry I didn't...

    Programs taking long time to start

    I rebooted in safe mode and it was the same. I disconnected all but my boot drive and it was the same. When I installed windows, I just had the boot drive connected but I was connected to the internet so Windows updated as it installed. Then I installed the motherboard drivers and apps and...
