I finally got tired of waiting and waiting for my project to open in the "H" version, even with the new startup menu disabled, that I rolled back to Gloucester.  Now my project opens 20 to 25 seconds faster.  In the future, I won't be so quick to update until I read the tea leaves here in the forum.  I wonder if anyone else has had this experience.  As CW has always been stable and efficient for me for the last 17 years, this is a bit of a disappointment.  Fortunately, nothing was added in "H" that I was jonesing for, so it didn't  really hamper me.  I hope the bakers get this sorted out by the next revision.

Thanks for the info. I have not been able to download "h" it has not showed up in my command center and I can't find the download anywhere. With what you said I may be lucky, I'll just wait. Thanks again, great tunes by the way. Really liked Must Be In Love. Rivers in the Sky very moving, good job.
Thanks,
JD Carroll

Did this happen once, or consistently with every project you tried to open? There's usually a re-scan of plug-ins that happens after the initial install that delays matters. 
 
Also, I'm finding that delayed openings after a recent Windows start are not limited to SONAR. I opened Studio One to do album assembly shortly after starting Windows, and it took seemingly forever, which is not the norm. Even Open Office takes forever to find a doc if I don't wait for a while for Windows to do its thing. These days I boot Windows and do something useful for a few minutes, like wash some dishes or whatever, then come back and open programs.

@JD-Thanks for the kind words.  I found the upgrade only by clicking on the settings control in CCC.
 
@Anderton-Craig this has been consistent with the 3 projects that I've worked on since being on "H".  Those 3 projects now open 20 seconds, or so, earlier.  I always do a rescan after any update.

I must be very lucky on Windows 10. Things just work as one would expect except faster. I do see a small delay with Sonar loading a project but this was happening in the G update too. 

Thanks, John.  I'm not on W10, nor do I plan on upgrading to W10 for a while.  I feel this has nothing to do with my problem, as things are acting normal again since rolling back.

Twenty to twenty five seconds is a lifetime at my age. I would welcome the opportunity to scratch my ball sack or pull an annoying booger out of my nose that such a vacation would provide.

Still on Gloucester. If there is actually a delay with the menu disabled I am guessing that Sonar still polls the internet with it's inefficient code (does not run in it's own process) for some reason.. Regardless.

The same issue happening here, that´s why I think about a roll back too,
but I like the new start window:
 
Sorry ,a bit OT,
anybody knows how to roll back ?

Peter, right click on the Platinum button in CCC and you'll see your choices of the different versions.
