Script recompile is very slow

Unity Engine
1

Anytime I change a script and return to the editor, Unity hangs for a second then resumes with the updated scripts. This is how its always been and is completely understandable.

However, Unity has recently started hanging for much longer when doing a script recompile.

I have tried Visual Studio as well as the included version of Mono, they both hang.
The only other thing that’s changed is I have updated from Windows 8.1 to 10.
I have been running BitDefender for ages and have never had an issue like this with it, and disabling it does not help the compile time at all.

Here’s a dump of my editor log: Refresh: detecting if any assets need to be imported or removed ... Hashing as - Pastebin.com

Everything seems to be pretty quick until it gets to the bit that says “Completed reload, in 6.174 seconds”.
There is nothing in the log that accounts for those 6 seconds.

I would really like to figure this out, it’s making development very slugish.

Bump.

TL;DR Unity doesnt work properly on windows 10

Just rolled back to windows 8.1 because this was really getting in the way and guess what, compile times are back to where they should be, i can set auto refresh back to enabled and it compiles almost instantly

log file after rollback

“Completed reload, in 1.433 seconds”

Hm, don’t have this issue here, but I made sure that the project folders are on every ignore list, anti-virus, indexing, folder compression, etc.
