Not experienced a sluggish word processor recently (using 6 yr old lenovo laptop, both Word and OpenOffice are fine)

Word 2016 takes 2 seconds to start on my pretty beefy notebook (2017 Lenovo X1 Yoga). Pretty sure that when you measure it, Word 2003 or so would take a similar amount of time to start on a 2003 PC, even though all of CPU, RAM and disk storage are vastly faster nowadays.

Why does the Word window not appear within milliseconds of me clicking on the application icon?
