About this tag
Build optimization on Windows focuses on reducing compilation and toolchain overhead for developers. A key technique is using Windows 11 Dev Drive, a ReFS-based volume designed to handle thousands of small file operations common in builds, such as NuGet packages, node_modules, and intermediate outputs. Pairing Dev Drive with Microsoft Defender's Performance Mode minimizes security scanning impact on trusted build directories. This approach targets intermediate to advanced users seeking faster build times without compromising security. The tag covers practical configuration steps for enabling Dev Drive and optimizing Defender settings to accelerate developer workflows on Windows 11.
