Out of the box, Painter 2023 will start within 30 seconds on my PC. After adding 8 paper packs and 15 brush packs, I can go make coffee and take a bathroom break before the welcome screen appears. Seriously, it takes 4 minutes and 10 seconds. The performance rating of my Windows 11 i7 nVidea GTX PC is over 9600 according to Painter. And yes, once the program is up and running, I have absolutely no performance issues. But I'm tired of falling asleep waiting for the app to start. I though I could get around this by always using sleep or hibernate, but NO, Painter gets wonky and heck after a couple of hibernations.
