Issue
I just started my hyper terminal (2.0) and it took 20s on the first try, then 8s on the next 3 tries.
I ran Hyper -v and got this output:
C:\Users\erjorge>hyper -v
running in prod mode
electron will open file://C:\Users\erjorge\AppData\Local\hyper\app-2.0.0\resources\app.asar\index.html

Research direction
Reproduce the first-run and subsequent launch times on Windows 10 with Hyper 2.0 using the hyper -v entry point, and capture the reported GPU cache errors. Done means the initial launch no longer takes about 20 seconds and the cache-related startup behavior has a verified explanation or resolution.
