Hi Chris.

Strangely enough, exactly the same thing has happened on a couple of
my PCs in the last few days. Each PC had just performed a Windows
Update, so my suspicion is that one of the updates has caused this.

One PC seems to have fixed itself after a few reboots; applications
now open instantly again just like before.
