Right. We did some testing in another thread about startup times, and this makes a considerable difference.

Matt,

I'm using Avast (free version) and I don't see an option called "exclusions" or similar. Your suggestion sounds like my problem exactly. BB hangs after splash screen.

Compound that with my being unfamiliar with Windows 10. I used to know how to configure Avast but the directory tree is missing in W10.

My boot time today was 47 seconds but I hit a brick wall trying to launch BB. So far, it's the only program affected. Interestingly, it is a new phenomenon since upgrading to W10.
