Windows 10 Pro Active Directory managed, network environment where all client workstations are "offline" insofar as all ports are blocked.
What we found is that, if 443/80 are blocked but 53 (DNS) is open, scripts take a LONG time (20-30 Sec) to open. Once DNS is blocked, they launch quicker, but not as fast as if they were all open.
Our scripts do not call any remote resources and are self contained.
All scripts are signed with a cert from DigiCert.
Any ideas?
Product, version and build: 5.6.157.0

This sounds like an operating system issue or a network configuration issue. Have you network techs put a niffer on the net and see what is happening. You can also use the TCPView to check pots opened by every process on the system.
Port 443 and 53 outbound need to be open for the system to work correctly. Inbound they are not used and can be blocked to prevent malware attacks. Port 443 inbound is only required when a web server is installed and port 53 inbound when a DNS server is installed.
There are many malware packages that use these ports to subvert a system so be sure your AV is up to date.
In an AD network you cannot block all ports or the client system will behave badly and cannot correctly access AD resources when needed which is almost continuously.
