Default Underpowered after starting cold engine

1999 S70 GLT
100,000+ miles

When first starting the car on a cold engine, there is very low power. Even with full throttle, the car will not rev up or go over 10-15 mph within the first 20 seconds or so of starting the vehicle. The problem does not occur if the engine is already warm when starting the vehicle.

Is there some kind of leak that would cause this?

Thank you for any/all help!

Has all the latest software been downloaded into the car?
Has the throttle body been cleaned lately?
Is the check engine light on?
