Surface Laptop 3 - applications starts up slow and with delay

Problem Description:
Every application starts up with a delay of 1-2 seconds. Opening another screen of an running program does initalize instantly though..


Build and Firmware

I'm running the 20H2 build 19042.685 and have the Surface Laptop 3 firmware from november 2020 installed (SurfaceLaptop3_Win10_18362_20.101.8577.0)


Examples:

- Applies to any application, offline tooling such as Draw.io, command prompt 

- Opening a new tab in Chrome is instantly, but when I go to an URL it tends to take seconds before the page is initialized to actually perform and connect to the designated URL.
- Opening Git bash takes 2 seconds and then it takes up to a minute to load its content before I can perform any commands

Does anyone have any experience regarding my current state?

    Were you able to get this fixed? I just had this same issue, only worse, start Monday. Exactly 1 month after the warranty expired. I tried everything, including resetting the computer completely. Nothing has fixed it. I'm told it's probably faulty hardware and there's nothing I can do.

      joe_k450 It works well again after a `Reset this PC`. I did keep most of my usr and application files, so it was only a windows software reset.

      My suspicions are related to multiple windows updates not finishing as intended.

        hi , i am Brain M , i have found a solution for this , you should update to the new windows 21h1 update . this update will increase the speed of your surface and will open applications faster than 20h2
