<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Thanks for your quick response!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Sorry for the minimal information provided, I wasn’t sure what to add (first question to the QGIS user list).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">To answer your questions:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">OS: Windows 10 – 64 bit<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">QGIS version: 3.10.4 64 bit, stand-alone installation<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">I’m not in any networked set-up, I’m working from home on my own computer. I have only one plugin installed (QuickOSM), and I’ve already tried uninstalling, but without any difference.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Since my question I’ve been trying some things, and I have deleted the temporary QGIS files in my Local/Temp folder. When I open and use QGIS now, I have the feeling it’s more stable again. It gives a hint of freezing
up at the start, but afterwards all goes quite well again. Then again, not sure of this is a solid solution for fixing this issue, as I have experienced this issue before completely deleting and reinstalling everything QGIS-related on my laptop (using REVO
uninstaller). After this, QGIS worked fine for about a week until today.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">I do recall trying to load some large files into QGIS, maybe they were stored in a temporary directory somewhere and deleting the temporary files helped?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Anyways, it might be relevant for me to know. I’ve switched our courses from ArcGIS to QGIS, and I’m really happy about it, but I would like to be able to help my students if these kind of problems occur.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Thank for the help already, not sure if there’s more to do for now, but let me know if you have any more ideas.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p>Hi Koos: <span style="mso-fareast-language:NL"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p>That's not much information to go on. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>What about: OS type and version ? 32/64 bit os ? QGIS version ? QGIS 32/64 bit ? network environment ? Normal stand-alone installation or Network installation ?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>I'll hazard a <b>guess</b> based on my own painful experiences: You are working in a networked windows setup, where your IT department has made some modifications for home directory (including temp file placement) and/or the userdata environment - maybe
making it fully dependant on the network. And maybe You are using the same login account for all pupils. Combine this with a marginally functioning network and it will be a train wreck<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Another scenario: You have installed some plugin, that's not working correctly.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>What you can test: <o:p></o:p></p>
<ul type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">
Disable/Remove all plugins from QGIS and test if the problem goes away <o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">
Load some GIS data locally on you computer and disconnect the computer from the network. Then test QGIS again.<o:p></o:p></li></ul>
<p>That said, QGIS ver. 3.10 onwards has long startup times. However it's quick and stable after that<o:p></o:p></p>
