I attempted to reproduce this on our test bench, but I was unable to with:
 
Windows 7 on an SSD
PrecisionX 5.2.3
X79 Dark
GTX 760 with ou without an overclock profile
 
I tried having it start with Windows both minimized and not, with and without a profile loaded, and I had no delays at all with startup in any way (launching program, typing, hangs while something loaded, etc.).
 
I would suggest uninstalling PrecisionX, then navigating to Program Files(x86)>EVGA and deleting the PrecisionX file, then reinstalling PrecisionX and see if that helps at all. There may be an old file that's gumming things up. Don't forget to write down any setting you put in PrecisionX, as you will lose them doing this.

Try windows 10 or 8, because I am also having this problem on Windows 10.
 
Is anyone by chance running multi-display power saver? I am running this.

Nothing to post for settings fresh install of the EVGA Precision X all i did was tick load at start up.
 
Also fresh install of windows 8.1 from last week with literally 2 3rd party programs that includes Precision loading a start up.
And no other monitoring software loading at start up i was just saying I installed and tested MSI AF to see if it happened with that also and it didn't.
 
This software increased boot time by about 30 sec and during this process some things lag including typing. Thinking maybe its looking online for update i set never to check doesn't help

I noticed this issue for at least 2-3 years of using Precision... Its the only software I stand behind for Monitoring and custom Fan-profiles since I only buy from EVGA GPU's.
 
1. This *lag* was present on Windows *startup* with Precision on my Win7 installation back on my AMD FX-8350 build with precision before 3.x.x - 5.x.x / and current XOC version.
 
2. I'm on Win10-Pro now with an Intel-build and its literally the same strange *lag-delay* albeit w/ a superior CPU, faster SSD, superior gpu's and possibly superior OS.

I've been using SSD's for OS installation for 5+ years and I had a previous AMD Build that choked for at least 15-30 seconds because of Precision startup [typing-lag was the first obvious symptom. While *Typing* [e.g. via run-command or on a blank text-file  lags bad, *opening applications* like Chrome or Firefox windows tend to 'open' immediately.]

I never created a post on this, and chalked this up to being some oddity with strong applications like Precision taking precedence over sys resources regardless of how plentiful a system has.

Now that there's a post on this, I would like to read some official reasons as to why and IF at all, is there a way for us users to tweak and or eliminate this strange delay.

I'm running multi-displays with power-saving on them. I don't think the PWR-save on the monitors have anything to do with startup however... I hope I'm wrong, but I'm doubtful.

The is still happening.
It has been over a year now since this was reported initially.
 
Extremely frustrating.

Maybe you should create your Own Thread for your issues.

Maybe next time you should say nothing if you have nothing constructive to say.
 
It is the same problem as everyone else in this thread are having. Your suggestion above does nothing, as it causes the same hang up when you launch it manually.

"constructive" (I have read all your Post in this Thread and none of them are constructive)
I would say the more Threads created the more it would be noticed more so then the Posts in a single Thread.
 
I have the same Delay as you do but I work with it, I start up EVGA Precision X select the Profile I want to use then I Exit EVGA Precision X and then work or play at that time.
 
Anyway Happy Spring Day! mtsilov

Mhm...

Well, its not CPU architecture specific or MB specific... I've had 2 different systems [Intel and AMD] and the delay was present on 2 different OS installations for years in my case.

At some point, this software received a massive update [during the Win7 days possibly] with improved features and it's been a *startup* hog ever since that I [like many people here and you included] have ignored thinking it was their specific configurations for so-long...

I think collectively, all of our stories are informative enough for EVGA techs to hopefully look into this and start testing away...
