AIR and Win10

[Manfred]

I was using AIR Ethernet  / Windows 10 for a few hours Friday evening.  For a while, lots of stuttering and similar annoying artefacts.  For the record, the PC was being used for nothing other than music streaming at this time.  I tried the normal thing of shutting down and re-starting AIR, which didn't help much.  I had a quick look at task manager, and Kaspersky ant-virus appeared to be top of the CPU usage list, along with a couple of other utilities flicking up.  It wasn't an appropriate time to start messing with PC settings etc, so we just put up with it.  Shortly after this, all annoyances stopped, and AIR Ethernet / Windows 10 ran 100% perfectly for the rest of the evening.

Curiously, AIR appears to be running ok this morning, and Kaspersky is still lurking high up on the CPU usage list, although not as obviously dominant as it was Friday, and at a typically lower CPU %.

Mindful of all this, Manfred's post above certainly peaked my interest.  I recall AlexS mentioning once that he runs a PC with all anti-virus software disabled (brave man), although a risk he was fully aware of and prepared to take.

I am not a PC specialist but I get the basic gist of what Manfred is doing, worthy of further investigation I think?

Hi
Kapersky AV also real time scans all processes. Typically one could exclude directories and process for scanning. In MS Win 10 you find that under Properties-> Security & Updates -> Windows Defender. I don't know how that works under Kapersky so you must have a look in the associated documentation. One should avoid that AV software scans Real Time Audio processes. It generates problems.
