Do you have exclusions set? On Windows 10, you can go to Start >

I exclude a whole bunch of folders such as:

C:\D\dmd2\windows\bin
C:\Users\Dennis\AppData\Local\Temp\.rdmd

I found that it really helps reducing the time to run .exe files, 
though it's still slower than on Linux (which is why I'm using 
Debian most of the time).
