2022-11-10T08:20:49+00:00 Microsoft need to resolvev this.
Clocked it to 20 seconds untill it shows up on the taskbar. 10 seconds more until it's open and done.
Clean install of windows 11
Newest Bios
My system:
CPU: 5950x
SSD: samsung 980 pro
GPU: 3090
Memory: 32GB 3666 14-16-16-16
All watercooled.
Have the same nvme, same problem, maybe there is a clue of our problems

If Microsoft want people to upgrade they need to
address this issue, and if they need, involve Valve.
At this point Microsoft acts like a small start-up,
get a grip now, act on this and show some result.
(the problem has existed more than a year)

2022-10-12T16:16:10+00:00 This is just a theory:
The csgo.exe process is scanning the computer looking for other programs to make sure we're not using any cheating apps.
When using -insecure does not need to do that and starts faster.
That scan is faster on Window 10 and slower on Windows 11...
