Ketarin slow to load applications (~45 seconds) before update process

[Rootz]

Around a week and a half ago, Ketarin suddenly began taking significantly longer to complete the "Loading application" phase — approximately 30~45 seconds before all entries are loaded and the update process begins.

Steps already taken to troubleshoot:

1. Reinstalled Ketarin, including deleting all databases from %appdata%

2. Tested running Ketarin from both the C: and D: drives

3. Started with default settings and then gradually applied my customizations (updated user agent and one curl variable)

4. Imported all applications at once

5. Imported applications one by one

6. Performed a clean installation of Windows

Despite these steps, the issue persists.
Has anyone experienced similar behavior, or can suggest possible causes or solutions?

Thank you in advance.

Hi, @Rootz! 

I have about 1,100 apps in Ketarin and always assumed the update-check delays (typically 30-45 seconds when clicking "update all" before the first app is loaded) were a result of that. I have been using Ketarin for a *long* time and I always just assumed it was object initialization (like sqlite database read and powershell objects). If that's not the case then it might be specific apps. Like I said though, I have a lot of apps and testing with a clean database could pose other problems for me that I can't risk. Maybe I'll spin up a VM for it.

Did you see if one of the apps you imported might have acted as a trigger?

Does it take a while to start regardless of how many apps you have installed?

Are you running a current build of Windows and PowerShell?

Is your Ketarin app+database and/or folder whitelisted within your antivirus?
