Load times very long?

Hello! First time user and poster here

I using a Seagate Firecuda 2TB hardrive for Retrobat and I'm noticing load times to boot are well over a minute which I think is normal, what worries me when booting roms it can take just as long to do so as well, is this normal (Happening for Ps1 and Gamecube titles) ? I'm seeing tutorials online which shows smoother loading and navigation that isn't edited. Appreciate any advice or tips thankyou.

Hello,

These loadtimes are not normal, maybe there is drive encryption software or antivirus program checking each and every disk access and slowing things down...
Are all your drivers up-to-date ?

Hello, thanks for the reply!
I just ran an update for windows 11 that just came out this month that I hadn't got to, so installed that (boot time improved, still waiting minutes for a game to boot), I haven't gotten any anti virus except windows defender.
Is there a log I can show or anything I can screen grab that might help?
