Sounds like Windows with their UWP apps. Calculator also used to take 5 secs to load. It’s down to about a second now but still baffles me to think that MS management are ok with that
I guess people at MS test and quality departments use I7 with an SSD driver. If so, it's bad. If not it's simply hard to understand, if we leave corporate politics aside.
To me, the calculator has always been more or less OK, but the Image Viewer is a clusterfuck.
With the old viewer, it's almost instantanious opening by clicking a file in windows explorer. The new one is slow as a crawl. The first time may take 5 or 6 seconds (in a 7 year old laptop). The next time is down to 2 or 3. Compare that to milliseconds using the native app. I've never felt the need to use an specific image viewer, but now I'm happy with Irfanview, as fast as the old app, and full of features.
How do such things pass triage stages?
