Just a comment, having upgraded from earlier version (possibly 99.6??). The Siril load time had increased on my system quite dramatically. It now takes 88 seconds from the initial log window opening and stating that it has successfully opened sirl.css to completing the sequence and splashing the main program screen.
Thanks, I do have drives mapped. They were all not active (red cross), however I clicked on “disconnect” to force the situation and Siril went back to loading quickly,
