Title: Visual Studio 2013 extremely slow startup due to File System Shield
Post by: keanu81 on February 11, 2014, 07:05:23 PM
Recently Visual Studio 2013 began to take extremely long during startup. It took more than 10 minutes loading from a SSD drive which is simply unacceptable.
I narrowed the cause down to Avast (version 2014.9.0.2013) - to the "File System Shield" to be exact. After I disabled this module VS started up within seconds like before.

I made a temporary work-around as I hope that the Avast team will find a solution to this problem. For that I tried to find out what's being loaded on VS startup and excluded the respective folders.


This method seems to severely compromise my system's security. PLEASE AVAST TEAM, find a solution for efficiently loading .NET assemblies and the Visual Studio IDE. Right know I have to make an unacceptable trade-off between security and productivity.

Thanks and regards,
