WoW taking FOREVER to start up on Win 10

After hitting “play” on Bnet, the game takes forever to load, with no icon on the taskbar yet. I almost assumed it didn’t launch at all, but then I checked task manager and saw it was just loading very, very slowly.

My best friend had a similar issue last night, is something up with the game now?

Win 11 too on my laptop. but, not on my home gaming pc. but it’s overkill for wow

My gaming pc is still struggling. What are your specs? Do you run on SSD?

amd 5900, 3080 strix, m.2 drives, etc. it’s a beast. when i solo old raids i get like 600+ fps. it looks like a fish tank with led lights and computer parts. lian li case, lian li fans, then water cooled with nzxt with an orc breathing on led screen for the AIO, it’s awesome and ridiculous all at once. 4x corsair dominator led ram

I’m having the same issue. I click play and nothing happens. Doesn’t show up in task bar. Takes 10 real life minutes till the game finally opens. I have no issues with wow classic. European forums people have the same issue, no blue replies yet. https://eu.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/nothing-happens-after-play/402256

Yep, I am having the same issue on my Win 10 comp. Taking a long time to load after clicking play in the Bnet launcher. Getting annoying.
