For some time now I have found that Biab 2022 is loading slowly. For a moment I thought it was the plugins, so I disabled a lot of them, but it started all over again. After having asked Biab to note the detail of the boot, this is what I get. How to correct this line?This function was sloww: 15,621ms. the function was :Recovering plugins from <=2020 lists

When you select "Options | Preferences", on the first screen that appears, is "Allow Fast Bootups" active? (See image below.) It takes around 2 secs for my BIAB to start up (Windows 7 64-bit)
My Biab 2022 (912) also takes a lot time to boot. About 12 secs with a new, fast laptop.
AMD Ryzen 9 4900H 3.30 GHz
16 GB Ram
Fast boot is activated too.
2021 version booted quicker as far as I remember.
Any ideas? This is the bootlog.....
