dpit 0 Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 Simple .Net 7 winform apps start slowly from a network folder. Pausing ESET protection allows the app to start immediately. Being self contained there is significant unpacking when executing the app thus ESET would be busy, but launch can take 10 seconds. If I run the same self contained app from my C drive, there is no noticeable delay. Is this a known problem/work in progress? Any advice please?

Administrators Marcos 5,394 Posted February 7, 2023 Administrators Share Posted February 7, 2023 Please provide logs collected with ESET Log Collector. Do you have scanning of network drives by real-time protection enabled by chance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Marcos 5,394 Posted February 7, 2023 Administrators Share Posted February 7, 2023 Do you have network scanning enabled? If so, please try disabling it: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpit 0 Posted February 7, 2023 Author Share Posted February 7, 2023 Disabling it allows the app to immediately launch. Do you suggest this should be disabled for all or was this just proving the problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Marcos 5,394 Posted February 7, 2023 Administrators Share Posted February 7, 2023 We recommend disabling scanning of network drives and install ESET on every device in the network instead for maximum protection and to avoid potential issues.

dpit 0 Posted February 7, 2023 Author Share Posted February 7, 2023 It always feels uncomfortable to turn down ESET. Is it less risk if I add the network location as a performance exclusion, or disable scanning of network drives? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Marcos 5,394 Posted February 7, 2023 Administrators Share Posted February 7, 2023 If you turn off scanning of network drives while ESET is installed on all computers in LAN, it's safer than not having ESET on all computers and rely on scanning of network drives.
