This was an issue many versions ago and it appears to be back.
Thanks Gary, I remember that well. I think Egg or Ron Duke first reported it.
I do find that, when open, the creation of a New Document is extremely quick.
It is probable that the delay is one that holds up the changing of the Status Line at its last displayed text.
It is not like the (still) very slow opening of Page Options (for me, 5 seconds); around 80 calls to the Registry. This should not take this long.
Even the Line gallery rendering of its 13 XAR files only takes 4 seconds and these have lots of colours.

Re: v16.3 - Slow Start-up Times
Yesterday, I activated v16.3 on my laptop from v16.0.
Neither it or my main PC reported that an "update" was available. My laptop did it when I chose Help > Check for updates.
The download and update worked well and didn't require Registry changes or redownloading external assets.
The one advantage of a direct download and re-install is I get to keep the download so I can revert to it later on or to prior versions; the Magix C:\Users\[username]\Documents\MAGIX Downloads\Installationsmanager route seem to only store your original version.

Re: v16.3 - Slow Start-up Times
I am running Xara Photo & Graphic Designer 16.3.0.57723 and I attribute the slower startup to the fact that I recently bought and installed a humble bundle package among which is Corel Draw, since I did that I have noticed every thing on my computer has slowed down, that may not be the fault of the software or humble bundle but to my rather low end machine does not have the grunt to run what I ask of it. I may uninstall that stuff and see if it helps.or maybe I just need a better processor and motherboard and graphics card, I have replaced a few parts so far such as the power supply and disk drive and added memory.
