Has anyone installed 3.5 and had very very slow boot times ….about 15 mins?

Is everyone that’s using it got their force online either WiFi or Ethernet?

Problem solved
I have a 2tb ssd installed and I thought it made sense to add the synth folder on the ssd drive, which was ok on 3.3 no problem.
3.5 however does not like that . So back onto the sd card it goes.

I have my synths installed on a 500GB SSD, and no problems whatsoever.

I measured my boot time, and it is under the thirty seconds on WI FI.

Yes I’ve been made aware that other users have not had a problem.
It’s looking like it’s a problem within my synths folder

Yes definitely something in the synths folder that was causing it. All good now.
