Slow start time when opening MXD

Question

Hello,

I have a user on 10.8.1

When user opens an MXD his PC doesn't acknowledge anything happens for 5 minutes, then we'll see the splash screen.  So issue is before the license check and data loading.

User can open arcmap and then the MXD without issue.  User can utilize another PC and the MXDs behave accordingly.

No difference with user pulling the MXD from a server or their desktop.

Any thoughts?

Are the Windows specifications the same on this machine as the other machines? Version and OS Build?

Does it happen only with ArcMap, or any other non-Microsoft software as well?

Give How To: Perform a soft ArcGIS Desktop reset (esri.com) a shot.

If that doesn't work out, would you consider Undo a Windows Update ?

That happens after the splash screen.

No other computers are affected with the same MXD.
