    When I launch Unity directly (by opening a scene file with Unity) entering play mode takes 5 seconds. When I launch Unity through the Hub (by clicking my project name) entering play mode takes 15 seconds.

    I've tried this with Unity 2021.2.11f1 and 2022.21f1 and get the exact same results every time. Simply not using the Hub would be an obvious solution, but if Unity is not opened through the hub the package manager doesn't work (says "Error refreshing assets.").

    I was hoping the the package manager rework in Unity 2022 would fix this issue, and it does allow access to Unity Registry packages, but "My Assets" still fails to load. I also tried on two different versions of unity hub (3.4.1 and an older version) with the same results.

    Update - I fixed this by not running Unity Hub as administrator.
