Neuron Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 I have tried to repair and remove, restart and reinstall. Ver. 4.0.9 Nothing added. Win 7 64 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red ochre Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 1. Update to version 4.0.13 2. How many plugins do you have installed - try temporarily removing them and see if the start up time reduces. Quote Red ochre Plugin pack..............

Ego Eram Reputo Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 I bet Red Ochre is bang on about the plugins. Having lots of plugins slows paint.nets startup time. Cull some of the ones you don't use.

Neuron Posted February 4, 2017 Author Share Posted February 4, 2017 I hadn't added any effects but I just updated to the latest version and that seems to have solved the problem. Strange that I wasn't given a notice of the newer version. Usually pops up right away. Thanks for your time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neuron Posted February 8, 2017 Author Share Posted February 8, 2017 Red Ochre was right. Turns out I did have quite a few effects installed. Thought they would have been removed when uninstalling PDN as they were before. After installing the latest version it seemed ok but PDN must have been still in memory. Anyway, once I deleted the effects folder and reinstalled the latest version everything worked fine. Thanks again to all who replied.
