Hello there.

Recently My laptop takes a crazy long time to launch world of Warcraft. I'm talking from Pressing play in the battle net app to launch the game, to it actually opening is around 20 mins. It takes roughly 10mins from ressing play and it opens as a "Not responding" white screen, I leave it like that for 10 mins and then its all good to go. Once its open there's no problems, no lag, not stuttering nothing.

 

This just happened out of no were, I have tried a full re install of the game, I have copied the whole game folder onto a HDD from My PC which runs fine, copied it to my laptop and still have the same issue.

 

I don't have any other issues opening programs on here word, excel etc. I don't have any other games I can test it out with either to see if its just that game specifically or not.

 

Any Ideas?

 

The laptop is a semi decent one  (i7 4720HQ, GTX960m, 16gb Ram) and 1 month ago was opening it instantly and once its opens it runs fine so I cant see it being a hardware issue

Can you bench your laptop hdd? Use Crystaldiskmark to see how it's read/write speeds are doing and crystaldiskinfo to check hard-drive health.
