How can I fix this so my builds dont take 5 minutes each time I change any files.
Hi @nicholasfay5,
99% of Windows / speed issues with Meteor are caused by anti-virus slowing down file operations, as there are A LOT of files involved in node apps.
I always add exclusions to Windows Defender for:
- node.exe
- 7z.exe
- choco.exe
- meteor.bat
- mongod.exe
- and the meteor folder at C:\Users%USERNAME%\AppData\Local.meteor\
This speeds up installs, updates, and builds by about 500%
Hope that helps!
