Hi Anonymous ,

Apologies for the issue you have been facing. We have an update from the team.
 We got impacted by this limitation on supporting 1 node starter pools mainly for F2 capacity sku. Team have added this to Known Issues section in the document and the latest version should be published end of this week. We are working on a fix to enable 5 second session start experience for F2 capacity. I will update this thread once the fix is rolled out in few weeks.

Thank you

I'm getting even slower times to be able to run a notebook, up to over 8 minutes. On average they start in about 2'45", but now I'm getting more and more startups that take much longer. 

 

Changing to an F4 capacity did not change anything. 

 

This issue is not solved and should be changed so that it reflects that it is still open.
