@CaryF
Do you also have another computer in the household that is sharing media files (pictures and audio) and it's showing up in the left pane under "This PC" as "Username (computername)" with a media server looking icon? Maybe that's the cause of the problem. I did not have any media servers in my test.

@Snard
If you disconnect the media server, does the delay in BRU stop?

thanks

Update: yes, it's Windows Media Player and sharing music between PCs that is causing the reported BRU startup delay. Now we will have to find out why this is happening.

I removed those two "devices" and sure enough, BRU loads instantly now.

Hopefully there will be a way to tell BRU not to scan them, so I can add them back at some point.

Thanks!
