Please reduce the load time of the Logos desktop app for PC. Its boot time currently exceeds the combined startup duration of Visual Studio and Adobe Photoshop.
What sort of startup time are you seeing?
21 seconds
@Graham Criddle
Logos PC: After a reboot, the first launch, 21 seconds. Subsequent launches, 5 seconds.
Logos Web: Open Microsoft Edge and load Logos Web bible, 5 seconds.
Visual Studio 2026: Open VS and load a project, 7 seconds
Adobe Photoshop 2026: Open PS and load an image, 8 seconds
Intel Core i7-1355U, 32GB RAM, 1GB SSD, Windows 11 25H2
@Graham Criddle just wondering, how long does Logos take to load the first time after a reboot on your computer?
Hi @HeIsWithUs
just wondering, how long does Logos take to load the first time after a reboot on your computer?
I've just checked this and, according to the Logos log, it took 17.5 seconds
2025-11-08 20:24:22.2795 INFO 2 StartupUtility | Finished startup at 17.47s.
Looking at the log activity, there are some things that take a significant part of those 17.5 seconds, such as:
2025-11-08 20:24:14.1994 INFO 13 SyncManager
Starting sync manager thread.
2025-11-08 20:24:14.2003 INFO 13 StartupUtility
(1891ms) Startup step: StartPostSetFactoryServicesWork
2025-11-08 20:24:14.2013 INFO 33 SyncManager
Sync manager thread started.
But most of it is because Logos is starting a lot of processes, connecting to databases, etc.
For me, this amount of startup time does not cause any problems - it is rare I reboot my computer or restart Logos apart from for testing purposes - but I understand for others this may be a problem.
Microsoft Word opens in 1 second.
Sure - but is doing a lot less in the background.
Microsoft Windows 11 from off to login in 20 seconds.
You need to compare to a comparable program in terms of functionality and to acknowledge the degree of control the user has over load time in Logos, For example, in Logos what is the difference in load time if you open to a blank page vs. loading to a complex layout with several complex filters defined against the entire Bible? I agree that it would be nice to have Logos load faster but there are outstanding bugs, incomplete features, and additional features I would give higher priority to.

“Send hyperlinks here” is very useful, but unfortunately it doesn’t work with books. Even if I open a second copy of a book and set it to “Send hyperlinks here,” the links still open in the current panel. Clicking on entries in the table of contents or index always redirects within the same window, which makes searching…
I would find it helpful to have an option where I can make a note directly from a Smart Search window. That way I can save a step or two in saving and adding anchors to the Smart Search content.
One feature I would love to see in the Smart Search is to type a question, receive an answer (like it does very well), but for it to include Bible references in the response. Right now, when I ask Smart Search a question and ask it to include pertinent Bible references, is overlooks that aspect of the search. Yes, I can…
Logos software printing has few printing size options. Besides the pictures when being printed always come out with the image cut off. Please make the printing option flexible and make the whole image appear when printed. This is the example of the problem of printing on logos software. It has been like this since I…
