Windows 10: Is it normal in Windows 11 for there to be a delay starting apps when clicking on them...

I'm running Windows 11 on my laptop and notice that there is a 5 - 10 second delay after clicking on an app to the time it actually starts if I click the app immediately after shutting down another app. If I haven't just closed an app, then apps start almost right away. Is this normal?

:)

 

Windows 10, "GET STARTED", video either fails to play or plays without picture. Is this a known problem?

Hi Bill,

Thank you for posting your reply. Apologize for the delay in response.

I suggest you to check if any updates are available for the Get Started App in Windows Store. Also, suggest you to run the Windows Store Apps troubleshooter by following the steps below:

• Type “Troubleshooting” in search bar and press Enter.
• Click on “View All” on top left pane.
• Select “Windows Store Apps” from the list and follow the prompts for troubleshooting.

Hope the information is helpful. Keep us posted on the status.

 

Windows Apps starting with delay

Hello Andreas,



I understand your concern, and we in Community will try to help you in the best possible way we can.

Please answer the questions below:

• What is the make and model of the device?
• Did you make any changes prior to this issue?
• Do you see any error message?

I request you to try the methods below:

Method 1:

I would suggest you to Run maintenance task and check if it helps.

The Run maintenance task checks issues that might slow down your computer's performance, such as how many users are currently logged on to the computer and whether multiple programs are running at
the same time.



Follow the below steps:

• Right click on the Start menu.
• Select Control Panel.
• Select Troubleshooting.
• Click on Run maintenance task under
  System and Security.

Method 2:

To defragment your hard disk

• Open Disk Defragmenter by clicking the Start
  button. In the search box, type Disk Defragmenter, and then, in the list of results, click
  Disk Defragmenter.
• Under Current status, select the disk you want to defragment.
• To determine if the disk needs to be defragmented or not, click
  Analyze disk. If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
• Once Windows is finished analyzing the disk, you can check the percentage of fragmentation on the disk in the
  Last Run column. If the number is above 10%, you should defragment the disk.
• Click Defragment disk. If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

Method 3:

If issue still persist, you can try Clean Boot and check if it helps.

Single-click or double-click?

As the title says, do you single-click or double-click on your shortcuts to open your apps?

I'm a fan of single-click, the only downside is that often when I click on a message in de list of my mails in Outlook it can open the mail in a window...
Not always but besides that, single-click works best for me.
