Arduino IDE takes long to compile on Windows 10

Development Tools IDE 1.x
1

Hi! My IDE takes about 2.5 minutes to compile the blink sketch and takes 20 seconds to compile the second time when I use Windows 10. When I restart the IDE, it takes 2.5 minutes to compile the first time again. This is not the case when I use Windows 7 or Linux where it takes less than 5 seconds to compile. What could be the possible cause? I tried all IDE versions but none seem to be faster than the other. I have been looking for a solution but I couldn't find one.
This is the Verbose Output for reference:

Usually this is caused by your antivirus. The Arduino IDE has to run a bunch of different programs and create a bunch of temporary files during the compilation so if the antivirus is set to scan each one it really slows things down. You could test to see if this is the cause by TEMPORARILY disabling your antivirus for a single compile and then starting it again after. If that solves the slow compilation problem then you can set the antivirus to ignore the various folders that the Arduino IDE uses.

I forgot to say that I have the antivirus disabled though nothing really changes when I disable it.

Somebody else had a very similar issue recently so I am going to point you at that thread to see if there is anything in it that might help.

Head up it can be a long process
