Can anything be done about the length of time it takes to load this program? Sometimes it takes an entire minute to load and there is no obvious sign of anything happening during that time. I have experienced this on fresh installations of Windows 7, 8, 8.1 and 10 on real machines as well as in VMware.
The system I am using is custom built with an ASUS 990FX Sabertooth Motherboard, AMD FX8150 (8 Cores 3.6GHz/Core) CPU, 32GB DDR3-1866 RAM (9-9-9-24), SanDisk Extreme Pro 480GB SSD, Radeon R7 370 STRIX GPU 2GB GDDR5, Windows 10 Pro x64 Insider Build 14388 (Currently).
With a system like this, and with a brand new installation of windows, I can't figure out why it takes so long to load. It should at least have a window saying it's loading and to wait during that time.
EDIT: I would also like to point out there is obviously no form of cache used, since it takes the same amount of time to load the first time as it does if you close it and re-open it, even in the same location.
