I recently made a big jump when it comes to laptop specs. My old laptop was a 2015~ mid-range and my new one is a slightly high-tier 2021 laptop. I downloaded paint.net (non-ms store version), moved my plugins and filetypes from my old laptop to my new one, and put them in their respective folders.
However, I've noticed just how long paint.net takes to load in comparison to my old laptop. My old one would load the app within 2-3 seconds at any given time, while my new laptop takes around 8-10 seconds on the first 1-2 times that I open it, and then it's mostly fine afterwards.
So, what gives?
