I wonder if the particular slowness on windows could be related to how closing file handles is slow on windows because of blocking antivirus checks. Alas I can't recall where I read about this, it was some kind of "a few things I learned over many years of programming" blogpost.

- noxer 5y agoThat's why you turn AVs off either completely or at least exclude your own code folder. It wont ever do anything useful and worse even I had it delete/quarantine my own binaries in the past because it somehow got triggered. Also by default it happily uploads all you debug exe files to MS and executes them in their sandbox environment. Absolutely unwanted behavior if you ask me.
- Isthatablackgsd 5y agoThis is true. Even moving folders from one drive to other drive will trigger it. I download pictures and videos weekly (average 100 images a week). Often my browsers will hang when it trying to save the file to the folder because it was waiting for Windows Security to finish their scanning. Windows are proactive (sometime too much) with their securities because of the history of how we handle their securities updates and many many (thousands of many) unpatched Windows OS out there infecting with malware and randomware. Fortunately it have an exclusion list, so the list can add any file, folder, file type and process.
