Opening Indesign (Windows 11): how long does it take you to start?

Hi,

I'm trying to find out why my HP Z4 G4 workstation (Inteli9-10980XE CPU @ 3.00GHz) with 64 GB RAM and m.2 SSD under Windows 11 Enterprise is once again and still so damn slow.

To the group: how long does it take for you to start Indesign (latest version) for the first time and get started?

For me 25 seconds ...

 

I'd like to know in passing whether I'm at least in the lower midfield 😉

 

Thanks!

I'm runiing windows 10 pro on an Intel Core i7-10750H six core 2.6 GHz processor with 32 gb RAM and seeing the same approximate 25 seconds you are. I would expect slightly faster on your system.
