Hello

Krita for Windows has extremely poor startup time. 

9 seconds on high end PC (warm start) is much more then Word startup time that offer more functional.

It's too long.

Could you please consider some choices:
- use C++, i heard its much faster then C# (Microsoft Word) or Java.
- load UI and then load some plugins asynchronously (don't know what is this, huh, but sounds cool)

Could you please reduce it to 2 seconds.

Thank you.

Hi,

I'm sorry, but this is not a bug report. A bug report is about some problem in krita's code that prevents normal functioning.

From the sound of it, you've got some "security" application that keeps scanning Krita when starting it, delaying start-up. 

In any case, we cannot do anything with a report like this.

Then again: krita loads much more stuff on start-up than Word does, like brushes and gradients and things. That's what currently is taking time, when it's not security software doing dumb things. So that comparison goes out of the window.

And once again: Krita is already C++ -- where did you get the weird idea that it might be C# or Java?

I see...

Removing antivirus is a bad idea.

But is it possible to load that brushes staff in the background? So I can see loaded image in application and while im thinking how to create masterpiece from it that brushes staff will be loaded?

Thanks

You should, on Windows 10, not have any antivirus application other than Windows Defender. All the others are snake oil, and cause problems. See https://robert.ocallahan.org/2017/01/disable-your-antivirus-software-except.html .

As for loading resources in the background, we did that for years, and it gave untold problems. 

In any case, something like this is not a topic for a bug report.
