Windows 10: App launch delay

I am running Windows 10 Professional with the latest update. There is a noticeable several second lag when l launch an app from the command line or from keyboard shortcuts. There is no delay launching apps from the start menu or shortcut. I saw via Google query that ending the Application Frame Host process fixed the issue for another individual having the same problem. Sure enough, that worked for me, but the delay returned shortly after. Rebooting does not help. Is there a permanent fix for this?

Delay before Windows 10 startup app launches

I launch an AutoHotkey script (.ahk) when Windows 10 boots, but it takes 10-20 seconds from when I'm logged in until the script starts. The strange thing is that the overall system is very snappy, so I can search and launch applications manually as soon as I'm logged in. Manually searching for and launching Chrome for instance, takes less than a second.

So the problem doesn't seem to be a hardware bottleneck; it looks like a software delay in Windows 10. Could it be that one of the other startup applications takes a long time to launch? "NVIDIA Backend" is one of the other two applications that launch on startup, could that be causing this strange delay? I used to run Windows 7 until a month back, and never once saw this issue.

Edit: all my startup applications are delayed for some seconds when I start Windows, which is frustrating as I always launch my different development tools via AutoHotkey. Is there any way to raise priority, or have them start earlier in the Windows boot. Does for instance HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run execute before the Startup folder? Any suggestion is welcome!
