Slow start when trying to open

Using WinSCP from Windows Store, Windows 11

When using network drive as source panel, everything works great. Then I close application, disconnect from VPN to be unable reach this network drive and try to start WinSCP again. Application remember last path a probably trying to connect to network drive, but nothing is visually happening, GUI is not visible. WinSCP si open after a lot of seconds, probably after some kind of timeout.

That's indeed what I'd expect it to behave like in this situation. I'll look into improving it.

Can you send me an email, so I can send you back a debug version of WinSCP to track the problem? Please include a link back to this topic in your email. Also note in this topic that you have sent the email. Thanks.

Some improvements:
