Brand new, out of the box. It's been sitting here at 100% for 5 minutes.

One of our customers has a Lenovo with an i7 10th gen and 16gb of memory. Booting up takes about 5 minutes on an NVMe drive and using our application, based on Microsoft Access, takes literal years to save an entry.

Windows can fucking die in a hotel fire.

Are hotel fires worse than other fires?

They’re pay-per-view.

That's weird. My one boots up quicker than it shuts down.

Also why are you using Microsoft access hehe

I have an E495 with an SATA SSD, a cheap one at that, and it takes Arch (btw) about 5 seconds to get to SDDM login and about 7 seconds from login to usable Plasma desktop.

Try that with Win11.
