Regarding Start up time:

BIAB 2017 loads just a quick as prior, if not a bit quicker.

First time startup ~ 25 secs. After that, until I reboot it takes about ~7 secs. Been this way for a long time ever since I told my antivirus not to check its startup.

BIAB keeps an log file which tracks this startup time. My log goes back to 2015 so I can see the consistency.


Check on how your antivirus treats the startup if you are seeing a longer period.
