I'm not sure why you are assuming that you do not need internet or should be vulnerable to hacks. Plenty of our users are without internet on their machines due to company policies, and are fully able to develop with nRF Connect SDK. All I asked was if you could try pausing the anti-virus, as this has been observed as a plausible reason to why it builds slow. It's called debugging, and is the only way our software developers can anticipate what issues customers are having with the Toolchain Manager / nRF Connect SDK. If you are not able to do so, I suggest installing NCS in a virtual environment to disable everything.

We are aware that CMake is slower on Windows compared to Linux, but not this slow.

I too, along with about 80% of our users, use the Toolchain Manager running on an up-to-date Windows 10 computer, with no issues.

The ap_client finally completed the build in about 6 hours and basically hijacks my machine as it does it. Not really a toolchain I can be using. Have you any other guesses as to the problem?

I am unable to completely turn off the antivirus/malware services, but I have disabled windows defender. This is an an up to date windows 10 machine, inside the task manager the service still runs and can not just be shut down from within the task. I also think the service can not be easily shutdown from anywhere else. Is the nrfconnect compatible with win10?

If these assumptions are wrong by all means correct me!

Well, I guess now it really does not matter if I have antivirus on or not, I would argue without internet a system these days is basically worthless. So, having installed NCS v1.6.1 I can not build samples and I can not use my interbet!

Hmm, So, Nordic is asking me to make my system vulnerable to hacks while I attempt tp utilize its toolchain, how unsatisfying. Well, at least I am not the only one having to cluge it! Oh yeah, when running the build I can not use the internet, what is going on?

Thanks for providing that information. From the title of you ticket I assume that you are using Toolchain Manager to install NCS v1.6.1?

There have been previous issues where the antivirus has interfered with the build process. If you do have an antivirus software running can you please try to pause this while building?

Thanks.

Hello,

What sample are you trying to build?

Kind regards,

So, Segger Embedded Studio does the same thing chokes on the build and leaves my system virtually useless. Task manager says that SES is utilizing 15% of the CPUs.
