Takes forever to launch with Windows 10 #257

Closed puttley closed 1 year ago

puttley commented 6 years ago

I installed Snap4Arduino on my Windows 10 machine. It installs without any issues, but the app takes at least 2-3 minutes to launch when clicked. I've tried the 32 and 64 bit versions - both behave the same. If I wait long enough, snap does eventually open up. What could be causing this issue?

Hi,

One first question. Are you using last 1.2.6 version? I question this because some older version have a delay trying to connect to our old domain, that is not available. I will try to test it tomorrow ... but maybe somebody else with a Windows available could report us their tests.

Hi Joan,

Yes, I have 1.2.6 downloaded and installed. BTW, I'm using it locally installed on my machine, not the online version. When I try and launch the application, while waiting for it to appear my computer seems to kick into overdrive - CPU usage spikes way up and CPU fan kicks on! Once the application launches, CPU % use drops. Any idea why this would be happening?

Hi @puttley ,

I can't reproduce your issue.

I am not a Windows user... but a friend confirm me 1.2.6 is running ok in his W10-64bits machine.

I wish I could do more test...

Is the problem still alive?
Could you test it in different machines?
Could any other people report their own tests in W10?

Continue... Joan

Hi Joan,

Yes, I am still having the same issues. I've tried 32 and 64 bit versions. I will try a download to another W10 machine as you suggest. I'm also wondering if any others have experienced this issue and can provide some insight on the cause.

Much appreciated...

Hello,

I got same problem, using last version 1.2.7 on Windows 10 (x64), and I have decided to do a quick troubleshooting, as this worked fine on my windows 7 pc. I've started the application and in the same time the task manager, and it was obvious that the windows defender is causing the problem. I have temporarily disable it and application starts in less than 5 seconds. I think this is because the Publisher is "Unknown".

Hope this also works for you.

Kind regards, Adrian
