[hpsdr] Windows 10

[Shirley Márquez Dúlcey]

Startup time of NINE MINUTES?? Something is wrong there.

Do keep in mind that the first time you start up a new Windows system
(that includes an upgrade from a previous version, btw) it will spend
time indexing your disk drives. That slows down startup and makes the
system sluggish for a while. You can't benchmark the system fairly
until that is done.
