    … Or how new? My work laptop is a core i7 from a couple years ago with 32gb of ram and the latest office 365. Any office program will take a good minute or two to open. I believe there’s additional drive encryption going on, but the load times are atrocious.

        Not really. Third party encryption/live antivirus threat/scan etc can completely destroy performance on a computer, when you have a few tasks running. Not the first time I see this issue. And it’s been mentioned elsewhere in this thread as well.

          It’s still not normal. Core i5, 16G laptop, in a corporate environment with Intune, bitlocker, defender for endpoint. Word opens in 4 seconds after cold boot. I don’t use my laptop much but it isn’t as slow as this post makes out.
