Thanks for the suggestion, I was unware Windows had it's own protection built in. For your BBS, do you "open" your BBS folders like you would a port, to ensure Windows doesn't delay any activity while checking every file accessed by a user? I went above and beyond the system restore, and completely reinstalled windows, python, php, vs, node js, etc.. It improved some performance, but not the delayed login and delayed keystroke acknowledgement during login. It has to be something with the BBS at this point, however I didn't make any changes, so it's a mystery I'm slowly chipping away at. -dC --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A45 2020/02/18 (Windows/32) * Origin: The Underground [@] theunderground.us:10023 <-port (1:227/702) .
