#73817 I just switched over to Win10 and was very disappointed with the compile time vs what I had with Win7. I disabled the McAfee Live scanner and went from 5:45 down to 0:35 with the scanner turned off. Seems like a pain having to disable the scanner before every compile! Was using Norton on the Win7 machine but was talked into McAfee by computer salesman, Bad Decision.

#73825 In particular put a scan exclusion on the Arduino build folder.

On windows these can normally be found at

C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Temp\arduino_build*

where username needs to be changed to your name.

A wild card needs to be used as a different build number gets added.
