    I'm guessing the 22H2 update was already tested by one of you? Still does the same thing, does it?

    As someone else facing an extremely long CSGO launch time on Windows 11, I can confirm that adding the -insecure launch option makes it start up INSTANTLY.

    Interesting, sounds like VAC could be causing this strange startup delay to occur then.

    Note to anyone who wants to try that launch parameter - it disables VAC, which means you won't be able to play on official servers, and 99,9% of community servers as well.

    PS: There is one thing that wasn't mentioned in this thread at all, about which I'm slightly suspicious - how's your TPM, do you have it enabled or disabled? I personally keep mine disabled until a BIOS update fixes system freezes caused by it.

    I tested again and I can confirm that the CS GO starts faster with -insecure flag on Win 11 22H2.

    TPM is enabled, do you have better results with TPM disabled?
