Windows 10 Windows holding ortho4xp-p3d down

[SilvestrePB]

Hi, guys!
Windows 10 (20.04) is holding Ortho4XP-P3D down. The program works fine and fast as long as it's in the Windows' download folder. But It slows down the compiler if I move the program anywhere else or other partitions. I added Ortho4XP-P3D to Controller Folder Access, but it didn't work. It turned worse if I may say. Even switching The Controller Folder Access off won't work. Could anybody help me out?

To address the issue you're experiencing with Ortho4XP-P3D slowing down when moved to a different location or partition on Windows 10, you can try the following troubleshooting steps:

1. Correct Folder Permissions:​

• Ensure that the folder containing Ortho4XP-P3D has the correct permissions for the program to access and write files.
• Right-click on the folder, go to "Properties" > "Security" tab, and make sure your user account has the necessary permissions.

2. Exclude the Folder from Antivirus Scans:​

• Temporarily exclude the folder from being scanned by your antivirus software to see if it improves performance. Sometimes, real-time scanning can affect program performance.

  3. Check for Background Processes:​

• Look for any background processes or tasks that might be running and consuming system resources. Use Task Manager to monitor resource usage and end any unnecessary tasks.

  4. Compatibility Mode:​

• Right-click on the program's executable file, go to "Properties" > "Compatibility" tab, and try running it in compatibility mode for older versions of Windows.

  5. Run as Administrator:​

  6. Check for Disk Errors:​

• Use the built-in Windows Disk Check utility to scan and repair any errors on the drive where Ortho4XP-P3D is located.
  • Open Command Prompt as an administrator and run chkdsk /f /r on the drive.

    7. Update Graphics Drivers:​

  []Ensure your graphics drivers are up to date. Use the latest drivers provided by the manufacturer (NVIDIA, AMD, Intel) to ensure optimal performance.

  8. System File Checker (SFC):​

  []Run the System File Checker tool to scan and repair corrupt system files.
  • Open Command Prompt as an administrator and run sfc /scannow. By following these steps, you should be able to troubleshoot the slowdown issue you are experiencing with Ortho4XP-P3D on Windows 10.
