Description

### Is there an existing issue for this problem?

- [x] I have searched the existing issues

RTX 4060

8GB

### What happened

Every time I want to start invokeai with the launcher "Invokeai Community Edition.exe", it takes forever to show up. What is it doing in the background that cannot be done after it popped up?

### What you expected to happen

I expected it to take no more than 10s to become visible and usable.

### How to reproduce the problem

Shut down all invokeai related processes, and start the exe again.

### Additional context

Windows 10 with all updates installed that is available as of 4/17/2025
Intel i4-4700k
32gb memory (~20gb free)
rtx 4060 - 8gb
samsung 880 ssd with about 417gb free

not running anything else, I understand if the extreme slow speed is due to the cpu being the bottleneck, but I would still put all processes after the launcher became visible, so i don't end up clicking on it 2+ times thinking that it did not start
