Standalone desktop app (.exe) takes 15 - 30secs to start

hello,

I wrote an app using MATLAB app designer, and packaged it to a standalone desktop app from Share -> Standalone desktop app selection in the Designer tab on top. During the packaging I selected to include the MCR in the installer.

Once installed on a new system and launched, the app can take anywhere from 15 to 30secs to start up. The app is not that large - about 25 to 30 UI components. Is there a way to speed up the launch? Also the splash screen appears briefly and then disappears with no feedback to the user that the app launch is still in effect.

Appreciate any help on this matter.

Thanks!
