nRF connect tool manager V1.6.1

Cy

I am attempting to build a project with the command line tools as described in: https://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF_Connect_SDK/doc/latest/nrf/gs_programming.html, but it takes 20 minutes to get 140 files compiled out of 254. It grinds my whole Windows 10 system to halt. Task manager indicates that the CPU usage is only a couple of percent while this is happening. The system runs on an Intel i7 i7740x which is an 8 core processor at 4.3 GHz clock speed. I have 32 GB of ram installed and an 500 GB SSD, which has 30GB free of 433GB. I do not experience any kind of delays when working, ever. 

What is happening with this tool chain building a fairly simple example project?

    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!

    If these assumptions are wrong by all means correct me!

    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?

    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'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.
