Question Unity 2022.3.4f1 - Slow to open projects

I put this post under Question, but not sure if it's actually a bug.
My project is a new prototype and very minimal - about 10 scripts, 5 materials, 1 small model. URP, Cinemachine, New Input.

Whenever I open it (after a PC restart or sleep) it can take a several minutes to load.
I noticed a few things in the Editor log taking relatively long time:

• Domain Reload Profiling: 5392ms
  
• Then another Domain Reload Profiling: 11716ms
  
• Asset Pipeline Refresh (id=c3ba194a1643b164291b40babf2363d2): Total: 115.525 seconds (most of it "Untracked", and another Domain Reload in there?).

I mostly wanted to ask whether this is expected in 2022?
It definitely wasn't like that on older versions (2021 opened faster for me with a full-fledged game with hundreds of assets), but I'm not sure if I have something set up wrong or if 2022 is just slower.

(I have an i9, 32GB and an SSD, so unlikely a hardware issue)

(also as an aside I think it would be really helpful if timings were standardised - either as 0.5s or 500ms - to be able to analyse logs faster)

Have you tried deleting the Library folder?

Also check that the project root folder is excluded from Antivirus, including Windows Defender and possibly other "scanner" or "cleaner" tools.

 

Thanks for the suggestions, unfortunately neither really "fixed" it.
Still spends a lot of time loading the project, most of it "Untracked", with three different "domain reload".

 

don't use 2022.3LTS，it is more slower, I regreted use it

 

Very informative. How about providing some measurements, even stopwatch timings?

Have you tried 2023.1?
