Question about Starting Up Cakewalk

[TVR PRODUCTIONS]

What happens if you create a new empty project, save it empty and close Cakewalk.  Open Cakewalk and see how log it takes to open.

Cc cleaner also scan programs in the background at their startup process -  CyberSec too. Antivirus: Windows built-in Antivirus or any other are the main culprits. Then there's those ridiculous Plugin Manager Assistance/Installers. There's the iLok Manager the host tries to find and scan for licenses and of course the iLok Dongles. This is all programs that permanently runs and gets scanned in the Background when you open any DAW - even when the scanning feature in the DAW is turned off. 

In General: dust on the system fans will slow the overall performance of the system down.
