Working at a sign shop out of college in the 2000's, Corel Draw, Photoshop, or Illustrator would take enormous amounts of time to start.
After a while, I used a font utility to selectively choose which fonts to load up and hide the rest from the OS. I would have thought MS would have fixed this by now.
- c0nsumer 3y agoThis isn't a Windows problem. This is an app problem, and in this post's case, Quicken. Quicken is looking to where Windows keeps fonts and, on every startup, accessing all of them. Windows doesn't tell the app to do this, the app is choosing to do so. And if not fonts, it could be something else. (I've seen a homegrown enterprise app that would go weird if there was too much stuff in C:\Temp because it used it and scanned the WHOLE THING on startup for its stuff. Again, even though C:\Temp is a Windows folder, this is an app issue.)
