Slow package load after initially starting Julia on Windows

General Usage
1

When I open a fresh terminal session on Windows:

julia> @time using GLMakie
 56.724200 seconds (4.40 M allocations: 459.433 MiB, 0.63% gc time, 0.09% compilation time: 57% of which was recompilation)

If I then close the session and restart Julia:

julia> @time using GLMakie
  4.776639 seconds (4.40 M allocations: 459.435 MiB, 4.38% gc time, 1.13% compilation time: 62% of which was recompilation)

I then get similar timings for any subsequent runs.

Repeating this on WSL, first time:

@time using GLMakie
  3.147079 seconds (2.97 M allocations: 189.322 MiB, 5.05% gc time, 1.10% compilation time: 67% of which was recompilation)

and subsequent runs:

@time using GLMakie
  2.480276 seconds (2.97 M allocations: 189.323 MiB, 6.89% gc time, 1.44% compilation time: 69% of which was recompilation)

Windows and WSL both on Julia 1.10 installed via Juliaup.

Any ideas what could be the much slower first time on Windows?
