      Yup, just tried this again and CPU is still maxed out. I've got "open with last session" enabled, 1 window 3 workspaces 64 tabs total.

      CPU still maxed.

      Once everything loads up it works fine and dandy. The slow loading time.......

      (CPU just finally went down, and I type slow, so it;s been over 3 minutes?)

      ........seems like an annoyance that I can deal with, but I would rather not.

          Hi again, did you check the link above?
          I test Vivaldi in a virtual machine with Windows 10 at moment and it start in 5 seconds, on my Windows 11 install it start even faster.
          Can you check the internal task manager if one tab cause this? Open it with Shift+Esc.
          I have 4 workspaces with 120 tabs at moment.
          Something is blocking Vivaldi on your system, try the command line switch.

          Cheers, mib

                @jaunny Not too much. Any single tab (of all workspaces), extension, webpanel take a process.

                  No, I mean hundreds of TABS are coming up Task Manager, not just the processes. Tabs that I have long since closed, not just the 67 currently open.

                    Do you have lazy load restored tabs disabled in Settings General?
                    Just a small test as mentioned with 120 tabs.

                        Panels are lazy load, pages are not. But like I said, I hadn't changed any settings or anything, just updated.

                          Yes, enable it.
                          If you start Vivaldi with disabled lazy loading it load all tabs and sub tabs.
                          I forgot to enable it and it takes 10 Minutes to open Vivaldi with 400 tabs and take all of my 16 GB Ram, annoying.
                          It is enabled by default.

                            Well, previously there was some kind of an issue that was corrected by disabling it, and that was working perfectly fine until I updated. Someone else having issues with this update said "if it ain't broke don't try to fix it". I should have adhered to that adage.

                                    I know this was a bug in this case, but actually I would love this to be implemented as a feature 🙂
                                    The thing with Workspaces is that they keep all the tabs open and hidden, which you don't really realize unless you have a tab extension like Tab Manager Plus. So you might have 7 tabs in your current window and think you're tidy, but actually have hundreds of tabs open in the background in your workspaces (not loaded).
                                    A solution to that is to have a quick Workspace-Session conversion, which will effectively close the tabs and keep a tidy browser.

                                      @Gnaritas No, believe me... you do not want this. The sessions show up as additional workspaces, and just like the workspaces appear, and you have to click them open to see those tabs, these "sessions" are the same, so I'm not sure what benefit you see here. Additionally, when you click from one of them to one of your workspaces ALL THE TABS from that session get added to the workspace you just clicked and its a HUGE MESS. Nothing tidy about this in the slightest.

                                        @jaunny Oh no, don't get me wrong, this is clearly a bug in your case. I was referring to the possibility to "convert" a Workspace to a Session and vice-versa with one click.
                                        Say for example you look to buy a printer, and make a workspace for that. After a few days of searching and having lots of tabs open, you decide to postpone the acquisition to next month. Instead of keeping the Workspace around, you can convert it to a Session (which will actually close all its tabs, not just hide them). Then, next month, you can convert the session to a Workspace (not just open the session as a new window like now, but add a new Workspace named as that Session).
                                        This is what I was referring to, I hope it's clearer now.

                                        Edit: I realize that the difficulty with this idea is that Sessions are actually a level above Workspaces, not their equivalent (1 session can hold multiple workspaces).
