Long start time for 10.5.x
 
After upgrading The Bat to the version 10.5.x (64bit on Windows 10) I'm getting a long start time of the application (30 sec and more) and sometimes messages are blank (no content) after starting so I need to restart again. The Bat App Data folder resides on M.2 disk.

Windows Event Log shows a bunch of errors for the application which looks like

Just some thoughts and suggestions..:

- Open a command prompt ('DOS box' if you're an old timer), go to your The Bat folder, and run TheBat64.exe with these commandline parameters: /NoDirectX /ForceNoCEF. Does it work better then?

- Could it be that your antivirus is taking a long time scanning and releasing the (new) TheBat executables?

- Could The Bat or your antivirus be accessing any very slow drives (e.g. sleeping drives, network drives) ?

- Have you tried running The Bat elevated? (Right-click on The Bat desktop shortcut,then  'Run as Administrator') ?

- When it has finally launched, does it operate normally? (I'm not sure what is meant by 'messages are bland').

- Have you used the Maintenance Center (see Folder menu) to Check/Repair the message base? (only do this if you have a backup).


The delay that you're seeing may be related to the problem discussed here: https://www.ritlabs.com/en/forums/forum4/topic16064/

Not much, maybe 5 sec faster than w/o

When the antivirus is disabled still issue persists

As I have written in the OP - all is on the local M.2 drive

No difference

It was a typo - sometimes it came up with blank messages (no content)

Yeah, I have done that before posting my issue to the forum.

It may but my case is to load the application rather than just delay on rendering windows like replay composition.  
 
Maybe some other users will come up with suggestions, but I think your best bet at this point would be to contact Ritlabs' helpdesk using the Support menu at the top of this page.

One more suggestion from me (this I learned from support): try running TB with the /reg:someprofilename command-line option which will use a clean slate of registry values. If TB runs normally there could be some conflict between old/new registry settings, and in this case a complete uninstall and reinstall may help.

(To continue using TB normally running it with the /reg option, you will need to configure many things again. Using the /reg option cannot break anything - deleting the option will revert to using the original registry settings.)
 
Thank you all for your suggestions, You solved one of my problems also, thank you so much again.  I started using WritingUniverse https://writinguniverse.com/pay-for-research-paper/ because a friend suggested it. I was swamped with assignments and deadlines, so I thought I'd give it a try. Paying for research papers has been a game changer for me. Not only did it save me time, but it also guaranteed high-quality research papers. Now I can spend my free time doing what I love without worrying about deadlines. I highly recommend writing with WritingUniverse!
