Default squealing belt

When we start up - we get a squealing noise - guessing a glazed belt ?
After a minute it's gone....
Suggestions/comments - vs just replacing the belt -

Can also be from a cold morning or humidity.
But if it lasts too long then the belt is basically getting old.
There really isn't a good way to deglaze a belt (unlike the old V belts)
When you replace the belt take a good look at every pully and idler
to make sure there isn't any junk left behind.

Depending on your model it could just take a breaker bar to hold
the tension roller off while you swap the belt.

Older vehicles are a bit more complicated to set belt tension.
