Game takes a bit long to start up.

I'm not sure if this is normal or if it's because of my specs but when I launch the game, it takes at least a 10 minutes for me to get to the title screen.

Laptop Specs:
Processor: AMD® Ryzen™ 5 2500U Processor
Graphics Card: NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1050 Mobile
Memory: 4 GB RAM
Storage: 1TB 5400 rpm SATA HDD
Operating System: Windows 10

The HDD and the RAM are the only real suspects there. You can also send you log files in and we can see if for some reason it's building shaders over and over... which is all I could think of that would make it take any more than a minute or 2

Here's a recent log file. Tell me if yo u need more for comparison.

In the log I read the GPU is having issues keeping up with everything else. Nothing out of the ordinary besides that. Is the game potentially using the wrong gpu perhaps?

It was set to my High Performance Processor (Nvidia GTX 1050M) on both Nvidia Control Panel and Windows Graphics Settings. Should I try Integrated graphics? Or is my laptop somehow not actually using my dedicated graphics card?

Is there any chance you use Avast Antivirus?
For me, since some weeks it delays the start of Ren-X for some reason (does not happen if i whitelist the UDK 64 binary or disable it during starting)

I have Kaspersky, but I already tried turning it off before running the game and it still took about 10 minutes. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Update on the situation:

After cleaning out some programs on my laptop, and switching from 64 bit launcher to 32 bit (which may have been the reason) I was able to launch the game faster. So problem solved I guess.
