    I've developed a UWP game but there is a problem. It takes like 20 seconds for the splash screen to appear. It used to be instant. I decided to do a normal Standalone build for windows 64 and the splash loads instantly. What could be the problem? I already tried making the first scene super basic. I don't want to do asset bundles or addressables (would take too long). Do I need to change something in VS or unity? The compiled game is only around 400mb. Also I just upgraded from unity 2021 to the recommended 2022 version in an attempt to fix it but no such luck. Please help. Thanks.

    Are you running the game through Visual Studio? If your debugger is configured to load all symbols on startup, that would freeze the game until it does so. Try running it through the start menu instead.

    If that's not it, which configuration (debug/release/master) is this reproducible in?

    Ok, So I went home after not using my computer for a day, and now it suddenly works as intended. I have no clue why. I don't think it's normal pc lag, because everything else loaded at a normal pace. I guess it was just a weird pc issue. I had also already tried restarting it when the issue rose originally. It's so weird. Perhaps Unity player could have some weird y2k like bug with that day where it acted up, i truly have no idea.
