TheQuinbox,

Today I learned: killing Windows Defender can seriously speed up Thunderbird. If it's ever unusable try it, magic will happen. Not my discovery, but this just made my life so much nicer.

jackf723,

@TheQuinbox Specifically excluding the Thunderbird profile directory, right?

TheQuinbox,

@jackf723 That's not what I did at first, but that works yup.

BTyson,

@TheQuinbox How did you kill it?

@TheQuinbox How do you kill defender, anyway? Sometimes it just consumes way more CPU than it has any right to. The strange thing is it doesn't seem to affect betterbird as much.

@root @x0 @TheQuinbox I love sordum
their programs look sketchy as all hell but they're good programs

TheQuinbox,

@x0 I excluded thunderbird's profile directory, but a quick stopgap is to turn off realtime and cloud-delivered protection.

@TheQuinbox if you kill windows defender, you don't have antivirus protection, or a firewall. so how are you protecting yourself?

TheQuinbox,

@JamminJerry Sorry, should've clarified. Killing Windows defender on the thunderbird profiles folder.
