<p>Hi Cliff,</p>
<p>I don't really know what is going on on your machine.</p>
<p>Just a shot in the dark: if you run an antivirus software, try to
disable it and see if it helps.</p>
<p>The other guess would be plugins, but you said that you already
tried starting with the --noplugins switch, so that doesn't help
either ...</p>
<p>Hope you are able to find out what the problem is.</p>

<div>I disappeared when reinstalling a new version, without
clearly understanding what happened. Final tests let think
that something was weird with windows shared file system where
profiles where stored. </div>
<div>What is your exact OS version?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>All I can advice is to log all what happens with
process_monitor.exe and look at the errors you get. </div>
<div>Also, can you tell us:</div>
<div>What happens in those test cases?</div>
<div> - launch qgis again while first instance has not startup
yet</div>
<div> - launch qgis using configpath option with a profile on
another drive than currently (network or local?)</div>
<div> - is the second startup faster than the first one ? (if
yes you have another Microsoft windows phenomenon called cold
startup cumulating itself with previous one)</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks for your tests, you face a really rare issue that we
must narrow down and solve, really </div>

<div>Greetings,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>On a new Dell laptop running Windows 7 (i7, 8GB ram),
it takes about 3-5 minutes for QGIS to start, which is a
hassle. It hangs at “Starting up the GUI” and if I click
on the splash screen, it crashes, but if I let it sit it
eventually starts without any error. I have had this
problem since installing QGIS 2.14 using the OSGeo4W
64-bit installer. I have since completely removed that
installation, deleted the .qgis folder, and deleted all
registry entries. I then reinstalled using the
standalone installer and still no luck. I currently have
QGIS versions 2.14, 2.16, and 2.18 installed and
experience the same problem with each. <br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Other steps I've taken were to disable plugins and
remove plugins, but no change on startup. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I have the same versions running on another Windows 7
machine and a Linux VM with no problems. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The only error I see in the logs is the following:</div>
<div><br>

</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Does anyone know what could be causing QGIS to boot
up so slowly?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Cheers,</div>
