Latest update is very slow on startup. Noticeably slower than the previous version. Any advice is appreciated.

Computer - Windows 10 64bit

Without touching messages or folders, start *Windows'* safe mode with networking enabled - win10 https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/12376/windows-10-start-your-pc-in-safe-mode Still In Windows safe mode, start thunderbird in safe mode - https://support.mozilla.org/kb/safe-mode-thunderbird

Does problem go away?

Problem gone and the program starts FAST when -

  • Start > Windows Safe Mode with Networking > Thunderbird Add-ons Disable
  • Start > Windows Safe Mode with Networking > Thunderbird start normally

Please see above, I don't think I was totally clear - As I wrote, Thunderbird did start up faster when I started Windows as written in my previous post. However, once I start Windows normally, Thunderbird reverts back to starting slowly. So the slow start still exists.

Thank You
