Issue with delayed process start and effect on Windows 10

Greetings, Paul Kitchen!
> During a script run initiated in the Cygwin terminal, I noticed that after a

> of precisely 20 seconds which is strange. The script runs normally but very
> very slowly.

> I noticed a side effect too. After the slowing down in Cygwin, certain

To me it sounds you are using domain offline logon.
