After the driver is updated to version 32.0.101.6557 for Intel® Arc™ A-Series graphics and driver 32.0.101.6262 for Intel® Arc B-Series graphics there is a delay when opening certain applications, per example:

• OBS Studio: goes from 1-2 seconds to 5-6 seconds to open.
• Windows Snipping Tool: goes from 1 second to 5-6 seconds to open.
• Handbrake: takes more than 30 seconds to open.

Issue is not seen with driver 32.0.101.6632. Download and install this or a newer driver.
