Currently a Air National Guardsmen. I've only had it take that long a handful of times. Usually when it does it is running Microsofts Endpoint Manager and trying to push updates, Scan with McAfee and Tanium, and loading a bunch of scripts in the background that are checking for compliance, setting a default AF or local Comm Squadon background, posting messages relating to the current security levels, etc. Its alot to all run as soon as booted and some things could and should be delegated for off hours but its not how its currently set. Typically the first 30 minutes of my morning is waiting for Outlook, Edge/Chrome, and Teams to open before even trying to open any tools. Also from working in Comm I've seen how they purchase hardware and its pretty frustrating. They will purchase 100 laptops at the end of the year to fill their budget for hte year, but its the lowest priced laptop, which is still almost double or triple what you can purchase it for as a civilian, then often times it will sit in storage and no one will touch it. This often happens due to the leadership not having any actual IT knowledge and they make the purchasing calls so performance isnt at the forefront of their mind.
