FYI, I recently reset my laptop with HP Cloud Recovery, which reinstalls Windows 10 Pro from factory and then chose to migrate to lastest Windows 11 hhmmm despite bad comments under web.., and subsequently do a dual boot Kubuntu 23.10 uefi off course.
When I tried QET installer on Windows 11, the launch time was very very slow... around 22 seconds.

I googled and used many tips and tricks to boost Win11 hum ...a little better like 15 seconds....

The best solution I found is to go to Windows Defender settings and exclude the "C:/Program Files/QElectroTech/" folder.
Go to Start > Settings > Update & Security > Windows Security > Virus & threat protection. Under Virus & threat protection settings, select Manage settings, and then under Exclusions, select Add or remove exclusions. Select Add an exclusion, and then select from files, folders, file types, or process.
Now QET launches in 1.5 seconds.

Maybe excluding the item collection only can be enough, if your custom collection or enterprise collection has many item files, excluding them as well could improve launch times?
Edit:I 'm tried Defender (real time protection enabled) settings and exclude only the "C:/Program Files/QElectroTech/elements" folder.
Now launch time was ~ 3 to 5 seconds, FYI, on Windows to overcome the weaknesses of the slow file system I/O we therefore copy the elements files into RAM before launching..
