Those libraries are not 1Gb in size. Why then take it of the 10 times, 9x a very fast load and sudden on 1x load many seconds? That is not caused by loading libraries etc. Then the behavior would be constant be the same. And that AV story I ruled that out before in my initial report. I know it's is scanning stuff.
If you would understand how libraries work, long loading time has nothing or little to do with the file size. A couple of KB lib or service can take a long time to load, while a huge lib can be fairly quick to load. It all depends of its function/purpose.

Those tools does not see every configuration problem or application issue. It is a great start though. Only way to figure this out reliably is to debug and profile the whole stack that gets loaded when you open your text file.

@ypaul123 Thanks for filling in your system details.
Your issue may be related to OpenShell and/or ExplorerPatcher. Both modify Windows default UI behaviour and your issue seems to be related to that.

Experience wise, this are some of the most useless (99.99% of the time) - Windows troubleshooting features. Even with some rare Windows component store (WinSxS) corruption - the system usually runs just fine. Yet, you can find 0 issues - with those commands, on a broken Windows - to the point where it's unusable.
Only feature with a very high chance of solving Windows issues is an
in-place Upgrade

Solved it!! Some autoclean RAM function behaved in a strange manner. There was no need for that function because I have plenty of RAM; 32Gb..... Only when I ran multiple VM's at one time it consumes some 25Gb. Turned that option off. Gone.... Rebooted multiple times to check.
