Hi everyone, I’m using a MacBook Pro M2 Max 14 inches. I have macOS 26.5.1 installed and the latest versions of the MS Office programs, and I’m also using the latest version of the Chrome browser. I’ve noticed a problem: after restarting the computer and waiting a sufficient amount of time, when I try to open Chrome or an MS Office program for the first time, I have to wait a very long time.

For example when I try to open the:
Chrome app from scratch, I have to wait about 4.5 seconds.
To open a standard-sized PowerPoint file, I have to wait 7.4 seconds,
To open a standard-sized Word file containing only text, I have to wait 8.5 seconds.

Once I’ve opened and closed the applications, they open very quickly the second time within the same session, but the initial openings take a very long time.

Why is this happening? Is it due to a wrong setting on my device, or what is the issue? Has anyone else experienced something similar?
