C14 slow startup time on Mac M1 Max?

In my computer, when I first open Cubase (after a restarting the laptop) it takes on average 1min20s to load, and a minute or so is stuck on “Initialize: Load Settings” is that normal?

If not, how can I troubleshoot it so I can fix it and have faster loading times? Thanks in advance

Are you talking about loading a project or how long it takes before the hub appears?

Before the hub appears!

Yeah….that’s not right. M1 Macbook pro here takes less than 10s…..I’m on Sequoia though…..can’t vouch for Tahoe if you already updated. I believe it does still have some known issues.

You might try hiding your vst3 plugins folder (temporarily rename it) and see if it’s third party plugs hanging on authorisation or something.
