Windows 10 IDE 2.0.2 slow Start

[brewsterblock]

I use IDE2..02. on a W10 machine which is older and slower. Usually this is tolerable. Sometimes however THE IDE begins, eventually shows the version number at the top, but then just sits there with the pulsating logo (large-small-large) forever, It never starts. Sometimes re-booting my PC helps but not always. This is very inconsistent. Even closing other windows/tabs/tasks does not help. Any ideas? The IDE is listed in my x86 program files.

I use IDE2..02. on a W10 machine which is older and slower.

On a 6 year old Dell i7 Win-11 Pro with 16G RAM and 512G SSD, IDE 2.x is speedy and I have not had a major concern since beta.

On a 8 year old HP EliteBook i7 Linux Mintwith 8G RAM and 1T spinner, IDE is speedy and no issues.

Is your Dev machine your personal PC, too? If not, have you considered leaving the machine running with monitor off?

Otherwise, you are going to have to:

• upgrade,
• use the older Java-based IDE

I purchase off-lease corporate PCs from a non-Profit. They are 3+ years old, dress copy of Win-10 Pro, and far more reasonably priced than flea-bay.

Hi @brewsterblock. I do occasionally run into a similar problem while using Arduino IDE 2.x. In my case, the IDE window sometimes doesn't fully load if it doesn't have focus (e.g., I'm multi-tasking and am doing something in another application's window while starting Arduino IDE at the same time. However, once I click on the Arduino IDE window, it completes loading. It sounds like your IDE maybe isn't loading even then?

The next time the IDE goes into this state, please do this:

1. Start Windows "File Explorer".
2. Open the Arduino IDE installation folder.
   (usually C:\Program Files\Arduino IDE or C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Local\Programs\Arduino IDE).
3. In the folder listing of the Arduino IDE installation folder, hold the Shift key while clicking the right hand button on the mouse.
4. From the context menu, click "Open PowerShell window here".
   PowerShell will now open with the current directory set to the Arduino IDE installation folder.
5. Type the following command:

   & ".\Arduino IDE"
   

6. Press the Enter key.
   Debug output should now be printed to the PowerShell window as the Arduino IDE starts.
7. Wait until you are sure the IDE startup has gone into the hang state
   (as indicated by no additional output being printed to the terminal).
8. Switch back to the PowerShell window if the Arduino IDE window took the focus.
9. Right click on the title bar of the PowerShell window.
   This will open a context menu.
10. Select Edit > Select All from the context menu.
    This will select all the text in the PowerShell window.
11. Press Ctrl+C.
    This will copy the contents of the PowerShell window to the clipboard.
12. Open a forum reply here by clicking the Reply button.
13. Click the </> icon on the post composer toolbar.
    This will add the forum's code block markup (```) to your reply to make sure the error messages are correctly formatted.
    
14. Press Ctrl+V.
    This will paste the output into the code block.
15. Move the cursor outside of the code block markup before you add any additional text to your reply.
16. Click the Reply button to post the output.

Please let me know if you have any questions or problems while following those instructions.

Wow. Thanks guys. I will try your instructions ptillisch. Just to add to the confusion since my last post: yesterday my PC slowed to a crawl and I could not get IDE going at all. One of many things I tried was to delete temp files etc. but my PC was so slow that was agonizing. So I tried using my Norton 360 to do file cleanup. Shortly after starting it began deleting literally tens of thousands of Arduino temp files! They had the path users/myname/appdata/local/temp/arduino... followed by varying file names. It must have run for 1/2 hr before other temp files were being deleted. What on earth can this be and how do I prevent them from accumulating in future? I was able to start IDE after the deletion. I have been running brief learning sketches for a couple of months now. Could these be some kind of printed serial monitor output repeating thousands of times if I left my Arduino board connected? I usually unplug it after testing a sketch or put a counter and limit in the active code to a dozen or so iterations so the board can loop forever with little effect. This has only been recently however.

Hi @brewsterblock. Excellent work on identifying the cause of the slowness. I'll try to keep that in mind as a possible cause for any future reports of users experiencing such symptoms.

@brewsterblock

What on earth can this be and how do I prevent them from accumulating in future?

I'm not sure. Even though I do experience an accumulation of temporary folders from using Arduino IDE 2.x, it has never actually caused me a problem, and the numbers are nowhere near the scale you have reported.

There was a report of a similar problem from another user here:

[rc9.2]Temporary directories

My PC did spend a significant amount of time removing .arduinoIDE-unsaved* directories from c:\users\sterretje\appdata\local\temp. There were over 230,000 directories since 2022/08/01 and not all of them were empty (but that might be a forced reboot by Windows or a crash). I'm currently not sure if the issue is mostly from RC9 and before or if it still exists in RC9.1/RC9.2.

@brewsterblock

Could these be some kind of printed serial monitor output repeating thousands of times if I left my Arduino board connected?

You can check by running the following experiment:

1. If the Arduino IDE is running, select File > Quit to exit all windows.
2. Clear the c:\users\<user name>\AppData\Local\Temp folder.
   (where <user name> is your Windows user name)
3. Start the Arduino IDE.
4. Run a sketch that repeatedly prints to Serial Monitor.
5. Select File > Quit from the Arduino IDE menus.
6. Check the contents of the c:\users\<user name>\AppData\Local\Temp folder (e.g., using Windows "File Explorer"). Take note of the number of folders that were created by the Arduino IDE session.
7. Clear the c:\users\<user name>\AppData\Local\Temp folder.
8. Start the Arduino IDE.
9. Perform the equivalent actions as your last Arduino IDE session, except with a sketch that does not print repeatedly to Serial Monitor.
10. Select File > Quit from the Arduino IDE menus.
11. Check the contents of the c:\users\<user name>\AppData\Local\Temp folder (e.g., using Windows "File Explorer"). Take note of the number of folders that were created by the Arduino IDE session.

If your hypothesis is correct, we would expect the number of temporary folders created by Arduino IDE to be higher for the session where there were repeated prints to Serial Monitor than the session when there were not.

I use IDE2..02. on a W10 machine

Windows 11 Pro graphic shown (W10 similar):

I personally recommend visiting this menu often.

[brewsterblock]

Good suggestion to find out about serial monitor output. Will try that. Also I can't say for sure that all those temp files were my problem. IDE was running today but now I am back to the pulsating logo. Will try the previous suggestions on that. That 230000 of the other guest is amazing. I might have had 50-50k temp folders.

The AT command has been deprecated. Please use schtasks.exe instead.

Invalid command.

The AT command schedules commands and programs to run on a computer at
a specified time and date. The Schedule service must be running to use
the AT command.

AT [\\computername] [ [id] [/DELETE] | /DELETE [/YES]]
AT [\\computername] time [/INTERACTIVE]
    [ /EVERY:date[,...] | /NEXT:date[,...]] "command"

\\computername     Specifies a remote computer. Commands are scheduled on the
                   local computer if this parameter is omitted.
id                 Is an identification number assigned to a scheduled
                   command.
/delete            Cancels a scheduled command. If id is omitted, all the
                   scheduled commands on the computer are canceled.
/yes               Used with cancel all jobs command when no further
                   confirmation is desired.
time               Specifies the time when command is to run.
/interactive       Allows the job to interact with the desktop of the user
                   who is logged on at the time the job runs.
/every:date[,...]  Runs the command on each specified day(s) of the week or
                   month. If date is omitted, the current day of the month
                   is assumed.
/next:date[,...]   Runs the specified command on the next occurrence of the
                   day (for example, next Thursday).  If date is omitted, the
                   current day of the month is assumed.
"command"          Is the Windows NT command, or batch program to be run.

Hope it is what you wanted. I will try the thousands of temp files test after I get IDE up again. Still pulsating before it displays the menu items under the version.
