Solved Launch time is very slow

Launch performance is extremely poor on my PC. I have the basic game (no mods) launched from Steam. It takes 5 minutes to get to a splash screen, then another 5 minutes after clicking LOAD to get the list of farms. Then another 5 minutes to load the selected farm. Then seems to run okay after that. Any idea what's wrong?

I'm happy to report that updated network and graphics drivers has solved this problem.
Side note: When Windows insists that all the drivers are up to date, that's not necessarily true. In my case, Dell SupportAssistant proved to be a useful tool.
