Office 2013 slow to open
As of late, any office software I open takes a long time to open...20 - 40 seconds. It used to open instantly but now lags when it opens. Well I found a fix for it...here's how. It worked for me.



Open any Office application first, Word, for example, go to Word Options, click on "Advanced" tab, and look for the following option in "Display" section:


Disable hardware graphics acceleration


Enable this option, exit Word, and try to start any Office applications.

It seems like you've found a solution to the slow opening issue with Office 2013 by disabling hardware graphics acceleration. This adjustment can help improve the performance of Office applications by offloading graphical tasks from the GPU to the CPU.
By following these steps in Word Options:
1. Open an Office application such as Word.
2. Go to Word Options.
3. Click on the "Advanced" tab.
4. Look for the option in the "Display" section that says "Disable hardware graphics acceleration".
5. Enable this option.
6. Exit Word and try to start any Office applications to see if the performance has improved.
Disabling hardware graphics acceleration can sometimes resolve performance issues related to graphics processing in Office applications.
