Hallo, Elements 21 friert kurz nach dem Start ein. Ungefähr eine halbe Minute geht gar nichts. Dann läuft es normal weiter.
Hello, Elements 21 freezes shortly after launch. For about half a minute, nothing works. Then it continues as normal.
What's this?
Thanks

Half a minute?
That's quite normal for the software to load and process all initial controls and be available for use in the editor or organizer.
That may be shorter if your main drive is a SSD.

Thanks, the problem may be normal. But in an older version it wasn't.
My computer is fast. Very fast.
Maybe it will be fixed.

Indeed.
My own setup is just the minimal system requirements, and it takes 90 seconds to launch the home screen, then the editor.
Maybe it will be fixed.
Which older version? PSE6 only takes 10 seconds. Startup time is getting longer and longer with each new version.

It's not clear from your post whether the program window actually opens and then is non-responsive for 30 seconds or whether it takes 30 seconds to actually open the program window.
You also haven't told us the specifications of your computer, so it is hard to judge its relative speed. But just to give you some numbers for comparison, I also have a very fast computer and these are my numbers:
First launch of the Welcome Screen from a cold boot of the computer: 5 seconds
First launch of the Organizer with a catalog of ~200K media files: fully responsive in 10 seconds
First launch of the Editor: fully responsive in 9 seconds
Second launch of Welcome Screen: 2 seconds
Second launch of Organizer: 5 seconds
Second launch of Editor: 5 seconds
First launch of Elements 12 Welcome Screen: 2.5 seconds
First launch of Elements 12 Organizer with 71K media files: 11 seconds
First launch of Elements 12 Editor: 6 seconds
So, if the program window actually opens but becomes non-responsive for 30 seconds, something is going on in the background - probably some media analysis in the Organizer. If you have the Organizer open, the media analysis can also affect the Editor. If that is the case, try going to Edit>Preferences>Media Analysis in the Organizer and uncheck all analyis boxes. Then see if it makes a difference.

Thank you, I didn't activate the organizer.
Also, I checked and deactivated everything in the organizer.
I noticed when Elements starts and freezes and I start the editor or a browser, Elements immediately thaws.
Organizer and Premiere start normally.
Hardware acceleration I also disabled for a test.
Without result.
Elements 15 also started normally.

Yes, you have a fast computer, comparable to mine. So, something is not right. I have a few more questions to clarify what you have told us.

Hello,
Could you please confirm if some OS updates have been installed on your system recently?
Thanks,

Hello, I did a sfc / scannow and checked all drivers.
sfc / scannow detected bad files.
My graphics card is recognized. Hardware acceleration is not to blame.
Right now, when I start Elements, I just have to click next to the window and it's good.
That is how it goes.
Thanx and all the best
