   Turns out that the KB5072653 update was responsible. I found this out by   
   looking at my update history, noting timewise the most likely update   
   that made the problematic changes and then uninstalling the update. I   
   restarted the computer after turning off my cable modem and router, then   
   temporarily pausing updates to prevent the update from getting   
   reinstalled. Guess what! The problem with the long program startup   
   pauses totally went away. I reinstalled the update and the problem came   
   back. I repeated the first procedure and the problem returned.   
      
   I was actually in a chat with a MS agent about the problem. However,   
   that discussion was totally fruitless as you would expect.   
      
   I would now like to either completely block all further updates or else   
   unsubscribe from ESU.
