DCS Failure to launch - only works on 2nd or 3rd attempt

[Lixma 06]

Not a biggie, but it happens almost all the time.

Double-click the DCS icon, the little grey 'Checking for updates' box appears and disappears, and then....nothing.

Only after the second, sometimes third attempt does the launcher app appear

Hi, when you have the issue can you attach the dcs log from that session. 

Its a single file called dcs.log in saved games dcs log folder. 

and attach your autoupdate_log.txt from the DCS install location

thank you

thank you 

which antivirus do you use? 

Can you try adding DCS.exe to the exclusion list and see if it helps.

Windows Defender.

Both the main Eagle Dynamics folder and the User/Saves folder have been excluded already, but I'll specify the .exe too, thanks.
