Ever since the November 8th updates, in Win 10 or Win 11, Winaero Tweaker takes about 20-25 seconds to open.
This happens if I use the START Menu icon or run it directly from the executable file.
SFC and DISM Restore Health both come up with zero issues. No other program has this problem.
My guess is that Microsoft is messing around with Winaero Tweaker, via Windows Defender maybe?
Could also be Bitdefender I guess. But I have the problem even with Bitdefender disabled.
Complete uninstall and reinstall of the program doesn't help. Winaero works fine, it's just that instead of starting in two seconds, it takes 20-25 seconds.
Is anyone else having a similar problem with Winaero Tweaker of late. I'm on the latest version... 1.40
/edit
Just noticed this as well...
Somehow the blank.ico file for this tutorial was gone from C:\Windows
I just put it back, and ran the reg patch again. Seems to be fixed?
And now Winaero Tweaker is starting in about 8-10 seconds.
This may have happened when I uninstalled and reinstalled Winaero Tweaker.

I'm just gonna keep an eye on it for a while. Everything else works fine.
