I have a new PC that has two Samsung 990 Pro SSDs. I installed Win11 on both and Workstation 17 on both.
On the first boot drive I can open Workstation 17 in about 5 seconds. Still a little slow at like 5 times what it takes to open MS Word or most any other app.
On the the second boot drive Workstation 17 is taking no less than 35 seconds to open.
Same version of Windows and the same updates. I can't find why it's so much slower to open on the other Windows install.
