40 min compile time

#1

I am experiencing very long compile times. Sketches that took ~2min are now taking >40min. Even “Blink.ino” is > 10min. I don’t know what changed. I have tried to uninstall the Arduino IDE as well as the Heltec ESP32 libraries. Also completely deleting:
Documents\Arduino
Users\username\AppData\Local\Arduino15.

Reinstalling but with the same long compile results. Subsequent compile times are no faster.
Everything that I have read says anti virus may be slowing it down but it had been working. No anti virus change. This is a corp. machine so I cant turn off the anti virus for the Arduino IDE anyway.

Any help or direction would be appreciated as the system has now became unusable in this state.

Windows 10
Arduino IDE 2.0.4
Heltec ESP32 0.0.7
Heltec WiFi_Kit_32_V3

Thanks

The 2.0 version of Arduino IDE is painfully slow…as you observe. I gave up and switched to platformio. It’s a pleasure now.

Thanks for the reply Harry. I too am starting down the platformio road…
