Still happens with 5.3.7

Getting this as well, 30 or so seconds of key input being delayed on a really fasy system. Doesn't happen with Afterbruner or when Precision X is disabled. Please fix this, it most obviously keyboard related a completely annoying.

I've been having the same issue and didn't know what it was till I found this thread. I'm running Windows 10 with 2 ssd's in raid 0 and I still get pegged at 100% disk active time and some serious lag issues for about 15-20 seconds on startup because of PrecisionX. When I disable the application my computer boots just fine.

Hi everyone, I've tested this in house as best I could, and tried at home as well, but I can't replicate it. I've escalated it to our Product Team to look into further.

Thanks for looking into it! I've uninstalled PrecisionX for the time being and I'm running *gasp* afterburner to avoid the startup lag. But I as well would be more than happy to provide logs or detailed systems specs to help debug the issue.

Hi everyone, I have the same problem on Windnows 8.1 with the previous and the latest version of Evga Precision 5.3.10. I hope we can finally find a reason so it could be fixed by dev, because it is very annoying.

I am having this problem too. Keyboard input doesn't work for about 30 seconds - 1 minute after start-up. Once precision x loads, every key I've pressed during the delay are registered.
 
I am convinced at some point the tool is trying to register a global keyboard hook using SetWindowsHookEx and gobbles up events. This is a terrible approach for implementing your hotkey functionality as you're adding input delay to anything not running in exclusive mode.

Decided to come back to PX and use it, instead of afterburner. Want to run my evga system with evga overclocking software but my goodness does it take forever and ever for PX to start up on my fresh installed not even week old windows 10 64 bit install. On a fresh samsung 850evo with rapid mode enabled, every program is almost instantly started on boot. Then come PX and it takes almost a minute before i see it load up. So on this system which is a 4790k at 4.8ghz, with 2666mhz ram and fresh install. Something is not right. It should only take a matter of seconds to load.

Wish they would take this issue seriously, a lot of people are having this problem. I am only using Precision because there are no good alternatives.

I have the same issue. It's been driving me crazy! Precision X 5.3.10.. Just my thought, could be the automatic updater. Before updating, I would get the 30 second lawl and then the 'Update to such and such version' pops up. 
Don't laugh at my old cpu. I'm frugal like that :P

bump. Cmon guys this is ridiculous. I've had this problem for over a year now that I know. But I just attributed it to my old pc and never looked into the cause for the delay. Well now I just got a new screamin fast pc and I experience the exact same keyboard lag when booting windows. No no I don't think so. Maybe in 5 years I'll try out Precision again, but I'm not waiting one more second to fix this issue. Uninstall and use MSI Afterburner. I bought (2) evga 970s. If you guys can't even fix this issue or even "replicate" it (sorry if I'm a bit skeptical I'm comment #51 and I'll bet less than 1% of people having this issue come here to comment), I'll be purchasing my next video cards elsewhere. And to those who say "Deal with it" or "uncheck autostart". I say no, neither of these options is acceptable to me.
 
Windows 10 64bit. Also tried on windows 8.1. Skylake processor, z170 chipset.
I'm not going to bother listing my full system specs because obviously its not a hardware issue, and obviously the staff has enough hardware samples to go by and don't seem to care about this issue. I will, however, be happy to provide any information that may help resolve this issue if you guys want to earn my business back and actually attempt to fix this. Hell, I'll even take a video illustrating the slowness and the lag at startup and the lack thereof with Precision turned off. But don't bother posting here asking for more info as I won't be back to EVGAs website unless someone from EVGA contacts me wanting to fix this issue. Take my username here and add @gmail.com if you want to keep a customer. Otherwise, Adios.

I thought I would try setting it as a delayed start and thought maybe that would work but I cannot find it in Services.msc. Any idea's?
 
Currently given up and have installer afterburner :(

AH well. Im finding Afterburner a whole lot better!! 

Such a shame. I really prefer Precision, but this 20-30 second input lag on every boot is pretty annoying.

Holy cr*p it was precision x causing this annoyance!! So annoying the keyboard cutoff right after login...

Pointless in the long run!
Is your GTX 970 an EVGA Model?
Have you test with the CURRENT Version Version 5.3.10
