Argh, yes, that would be terrible indeed. So far I've only noticed this with both Winamp and VLC. Everything else seems to load normally, but if it's happened to these programmes, whose to say it won't spread! Very strange. I did note that installing the VLC update seemed to fix that particular programme, but now Winamp has started doing it.
I searched around using google to look at the usual tech forums to see if anyone else had this kind of issue. I did find some general things but so far, nothing too concrete. -----Original Message----- From: all-audio@groups.io <all-audio@groups.io> On Behalf Of Steve Matzura Sent: August 17, 2018 4:03 PM To: all-audio@groups.io Subject: Re: [all-audio] Windows 10 and winamp, and possibly other media players as well It's funny--coincidental funny, not ha-ha funny--that you should bring this up. I have noticed the delayed-start behavior in just about every program I run on one of my Windows 10 machines, only one in particular, and I've run a few programs to try to figure out what's causing it, but none of them report back anything meaningful. And it's not just Winamp--it's everything starts slowly. I've gotten used to it now, but it shouldn't be this way. Good thing it's not my DAW machine, or I'd be ripping my hair out by the handful by now.
