Citect Runtime very slow to start on VM

Citect 2018 R2

  • Host: Processor 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-1185G7 @ 3.00GHz, 1805 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 8 Logical Processor(s), Installed Physical Memory (RAM) 32.0 GB
  • VM: OS Name Microsoft Windows 10 Enterprise, Version 10.0.19045 Build 19045

Citect runtime takes 2+ mins to start up the processes and Client.


Citect studio is fine, and once it is running, the runtime works without issue.

Any advice?
