Yeah...

The list goes on. I suspect that after Maxim & Andrei are done with the 
new DevExpress widgets, we *might* see some improvements on this front.

Perhaps OTFP to blame? No such file, on-the-fly encryption is turned on.

I have only two DWORD keys there:
- TheBat64ExeStartMenuShortcut
- TheBat64LicenceStartMenuShortcut

OK, how about novel and crazy idea? Create support ticket and let
RitLabs help with their commercially-licensed application :)

I have no such file. Searching this mailing list returns two results,
one from Gwen back in October 2019 and another one from David Elliot 9
days ago. This makes me think writing to "account_log.txt" is optional 
and can be disabled.

Perhaps try launching Bat directly from CMD or PowerShell:
`./thebat64.exe` without flags.

Next, give a go to `/STARTUP_TIMING_LOG` and `/BENCHMARK_STARTUP_TIME`.
Former will create "ex_log.txt" file to analyse.

...which arrived unsigned.

On the more serious note, you might try in-built logging functionality
as well as the `Procmon.exe` from Sysinternals. Latter will show you
roughly which call takes longer than expected.

Next logical step would be WinDBG.
