And you, have you noticed a longer loading time? I went from 9 to 22 seconds on average for the 2nd load, with windows clean. Reset to factory settings, and even with an empty load I'm slow. A tip?

Are you talking about the time to "open" BIAB2022? About 6 secs tops here.

I might just remove all my plugins, although that's not what I prefer. Just keep the essentials.

I have not noticed any longer time loading BIAB. The report about plugins make me wonder if you might have an expired plugin among your collection; just a wild guess.
BIAB 2026 Win Audiophile. Software: Fender Studio One 8, Swam horns, Acoustica-7, Notion 6, Song Master Pro, Win 11 Home. Hardware: Intel i9, 32 Gb; Presonus Quantom HD8 & Faderport 8, Royer 121, Adam Sub8 & Neumann 120 monitors.

Trying to load broken plugins takes longer for sure. One of the most problematic for me is Halion + BIAB, because of Steinberg buggy authorization manager. Just sort your VST list and load what you need.
