I attached video below to better show what I mean (excuse me for Windows in Polish).

This issue occurs to me on both my desktop PC and my laptop logged to the same Microsoft account. But I was able to also reproduce it on other, local account on my desktop (I used this account to record the above video).

Research direction
Start by reproducing startup from a Windows Terminal jump list versus launching it directly, using the listed Windows build and Terminal version. Trace the differing launch paths and measure where the extra seconds occur; done means jump-list launches are no slower than direct launches and the comparison is verified on the reported setup.
