Hello all,
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.
I saw and added me to the thread with this topic before. But it is marked as resolved.
I did not find any information, that help me with this issue. Quick start-up was already set. Any ideas? This is the bootlog.....

Hi Stefan,
Just now when I loaded BIAB, it took 18.5 secs.
When I shut it down and restarted it, it took 2.3 secs.
Does your BIAB behave similarly?
Regards,
Noel

Could that be it: Time to scan ALL plugins = 124?
Perhaps new Scanned plugins?
Try to disable from scanning all plugins that you will not use in BIAB.

Yes, the scan of plugins appears to be the cause of the delay in that log. Are all plugins properly registered? I recall someone else had a problem a few years ago and that was the reason.

After I upgraded from 2021 to 2011, the startup time decreased significantly.
I would guess that 2021 used to take 15-20 seconds. 2021 takes 4-5 seconds! Nice improvement!

My question is 'why does it matter?'
What will you do with the 5 seconds you might save?
