#73180 Despite the "helpful" posts, if a simple sketch takes that long you have a problem that can be mitigated. But, without further details it is hard to guess what might be the cause. How big is the sketch, how many libraries are you including? What CPU does your computer have? What OS? How much ram? When you say "complete" do you mean finish compiling, or compiling and uploading? Have you tried anything yet? Have you checked your task list to see if something is hogging all your CPU? If you provide some details of your situation, people could probably provide insight. Without details, all you are likely to get are snarky remarks.

#73182 So how long SHOULD compiling take shufti? I use the 1M/64k option.

I do turn off the antivirus for OTA programming I haven't figured out how to let it do that without turning it off. FYI I am using a windows10 64bit OS, and yes the machine is older, a Dell Optiplex with 3GHz AMD PhenomII B55 processor and 8GB ram.
