This "fix" is not a fix. The slowdown stops because you're rebooting your system. But it will reappear at some moment, regardless whether those options are enabled or not. Also they were enabled by default on my PC, and I did try disabling them and re-enabling them, and no change occurred. Also just by the name of the options, I highly doubt they're related at all with Discord or some games. I'm pretty sure neither Discord or 99% of games use any virtualisation technology at all.
You have a point. I'm going to test it again with the settings on and leave it for a while just and then re-test the speed of programs launching. The default setting is to launch avast before other programs get to launch, so i doubt the other settings or a reboot can make avast launch later.
Edit: You are right ! I'm getting the slowdown just 5 minutes in. Strange indeed. What does this even mean IDEK anymore. I tested IDM and virtualbox before the effect kicks in the earlier time, and the program launches just as normal. Now i wait for 5 minutes and the slowdown came back even with the settings turned on.
Has anyone tried turning off the Gaming mode:
See, i really didn't wanna get so hostile as some would put me into that category, but seeing the amount of post you had, one might think you have actually read the issue and tried to use the real source of it to debug and come out with a temporary fix, but you're clearly not even reading a single line of what's been reported.
This isn't overwatch thread, and this isn't about the game only getting slowdown, so what in the world has turning off this helps the reported IDM, discord, virtualbox, etc ?
I guess anything goes eh? For your sake i'll try it out and see if i'm the Mr Wrong guy here yet again.
