Hello,
I use the latest portable versions of Avidemux.
I don't encounter any particular issues with how I use the software.
However—and I'm not sure why—the first time I launch Avidemux, I have to wait several minutes before I can actually use it. Furthermore, if I close Avidemux during a Windows session and then relaunch it later, I once again have to wait a long time before I can use the program.
It feels as though numerous components need to be "loaded" each time, and that these components are discarded after Avidemux has been left unused for a certain period...
I am running Windows 11 Pro 26H2.
This issue was already present in Avidemux 2.8.2 (from Dec 12, 2024), though the startup time was much faster in that version.
Are you aware of this issue, and do you know what might be causing it?
Thank you for your help.

I'm running the same Windows version and load time is about 2 seconds. If I drag a video file onto the Avidemux shortcut on my desktop, it still only take about 2 seconds to load. The video file may of course take longer to open, depending on its size.

I'm running an older system with Win 10 installed, but it is completely offline, so I have no security running. My guess is your security somewhere is causing the issue.
