Hi Philip, Our problem turned out to be our Virus software flagging a critical component of Nitro which is "Nalpeiron Licensing Services". This file loads at startup and tells Nitro that you have a licensed copy of the software during launch. Since our Virus software was flagging it, it would scrutinize this file every time Nitro was launched, slowing the load WAY down. It was very frustrating. We were able to tell our Virus software to ignore the file and voila! It opened swiftly again. Go to your running services (workstation) and you should see Nalpeiron Licensing Services running. Disable your workstation virus software and see if Nitro opens at normal speed. If so, have your IT department look to see if your virus software has flagged that file or service. Have them green light (ignore) the file, restart the virus software, and I bet it solves your problem. The latency in loading may also be your problem with your Kyocera copier integration. Good luck!

Thanks for the quick response! I looked at several release notes too, to try to find this issue. Unfortunately, our users who have had this issue waited months to let us know about it. I have personally had it on my computer for many months. I have used my computer for testing in Acrobat Pro and 2 different versions of Nitro Pro so I had wrongly attributed my delays to Acrobat hampering things. I tried deleting a font dat file I learned of in a Nitro article in \AppData\Roaming\Nitro\Pro\12. That did not seem to fix this. As an example, earlier today I already had Nitro Pro open. Someone sent me a small PDF to look at and it took 10 seconds to open in Nitro, even though Nitro already had another PDF open. This makes it hard to isolate in testing. I did some testing yesterday and used a stopwatch to time opening in several different scenarios (over VPN, PDF in Outlook, PDF on Windows Desktop, PDF in OneDrive, etc.) and it opened quick enough (~3-5 seconds) with average size PDFs.
