PureBasic Forum

With pb 5.20, whenever I open or close a project, the IDE is not responsive for about 15 seconds.

Windows 8 X64 with PB 5.20 32 bits on a Core I7 2.4ghz

That very much sounds like your Anti-Virus taking a look.....

I don't have any :/

Poshu,
I notice that you are using Win 8

- Go to the control panel
- Start 'Windows Defender'
- Press the Settings Tab
- Highlight the 'Excluded files and locations'
- browse for (and add) the temporary location that PureBasic uses
e.g. mine is: C:\Users\Bob\AppData\Local\Temp


Note the advice at the top of the screen... but I've never had problems

HTH,

windows defender service was one of the first things I turned off :/
I mostly use my comp with ubuntu and I only start win 8 to compile stuff, so these 15 seconds are not a very big deal anyway.

I had the same issue once, yesterday. I'm not sure what caused this, as NOD32 does
not interfere with PureBasic (I even disable it while I'm programming).

In my case, PB was hanging for more than 15 seconds on Windows 7 Home Premium x64.

While this was happening, I checked task manager to see how much memory and cpu was
being used by PureBasic, but nothing out of the ordinary there. CPU at 0% and memory
didn't increase.

I am using Windows 8.1 and PureBasic 5.21 LTS

For quite some time I install programs no longer into ''C:\Program Files' or 'C:\Programme' ) or 'C:\Program Files (x86)' or 'C:\Programme (x86)'.

I always split my hard drive, and then I install programs, where I expect that they often access the Program Directory -
into e.g. 'D:\ProgramFiles(x86)\PureBasic' without any blanks,
so I have then no access problems under Windos 7 and above, and the handover of the program path as a parameter (just without blanks) saves me the one or the other worse.

So I did not have any problems yet with my PureBasic 5.21 LTS

So what?
I installed PB 5.21 LTS in the directory C:\Program Files\PureBasic\ (on Windows 7 x64), and did never encounter any problems.
