I built a cheap PC and everything turned out fine but it is very slow opening programs like texstudio and stata. I have an old Lenovo all-in-one that is probably the lowest specs possible for a functioning computer and it opens stata and texstudio in about 4 seconds. The new PC takes 25-30 seconds.
Once the programs are running they are fine, it is just very frustrating opening them. I wonder if it is related to the GPU opening the GUI as texstudio compiles documents very quickly in the terminal and stata runs fine in the terminal.
Below are the specs of both machines. My question is simply how is the old Lenovo so much faster at opening programs and is there anything I can do to fix the new pc?
