OS
Windows 11
Just temporary
I want to turn off all of it's features as if it's not installed at all

I have a weird problem and I cannot figure out what is causing it
Some games take A LOT of time(sometimes a minute)to load IF I start them from the desktop or from folder window that is creased by windows explorer
If I run the game from any other way(some other file manager or cmd and million other ways),there is no problem at all(the load time is from 3 to 5 times faster when I am not starting it from the explorer)

Today I also tried loading those games on my old laptop with win10(nothing is updated there for months)and there was no problems loading them from a window(folder)created by explorer.exe
I have no idea what could be causing this problem
The old laptop is MUCH weaker and I also tried at least half a year older nvidia drivers on the new one but no change

I use windows defender and malwarebytes on my gaming pc and have no issues, I think something else is affecting you. If you have memory integrity on, you can turn that off in device security that can help with some older games.

If your games require a launcher to load, and its not set up to auto start with your pc, that could be the other reason.

The launcher may be loading in the background and then launches the game.

The games have a launcher but the thing is,IF the launcher is started from explorer(exeplorer.exe is the parent process),then I will get a slow load and if the parent process is something else(even cmd=>drop the file and run)then the load is fast(at least 3 times faster always)

  1. Do you have the games stored on another drive? like a hard drive by chance?

  2. Are these certain games using the same launcher? Or multiple?

  3. If you download a new game does it have the same problem?

1.There are on an external ssd but I tried moving the one that gives me the longest delay to my internal ssd but there is no difference at all
If the game or the launcher are started from explorer,then it's slow and if I start it with another file manager,then it's fast

2.Multiple launchers

3.All of the games that require online connection have this problem(they are only 7 tho,4 of them on one company and 3 on another)
All offline games are fine
The problem happens even if i disconnect from the wifi

@S0C9 what is this supposed to mean and how can it be related to this weird behaviour(slow loading only when running from explorer)
I have the latest bios version installed

Wdf01000.sys is the Windows Kernel-Mode Driver Framework (KMDF) Runtime, a core system file that helps your computer's hardware (like USB devices, audio, Bluetooth) communicate with the operating system, and high latency involving it usually point to a faulty or outdated driver, often Bluetooth, USB, or graphics-related, requiring updates, driver rollbacks, or hardware disconnection to fix.
