It must be because of the auto-update checker. It's a useful feature that lets us notify users about new versions and also let them download and install without opening the Github repository.

But you check for updates every 45 seconds? Why?
It's the electron-builder that's doing it, must be its default configuration. I'll see if I can fix the continuous checks and limit it to only at launch.
Thanks for taking a look at this!

Maybe the update check is not completing in time and hitting a 45 second timeout similar to [1]?
