Codeblocks takes long time to execute after compiling

Question

I am having a strange problem with Code:Blocks. After writing C program i click on Build and run, it compiles in fraction of a second but then a new window opens and after around 12 seconds output appears on the window. It takes this much time for even basic code like

#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
    printf("HELLO");
    return 0;
}

Here are snapshots of what happens. As I am not allowed to post images{new to forum} I am posting links.

When I click on build and run, this window appears in no time

Then after around 10-12 seconds, this window appears. As you can see it says that execution time took 11 seconds.

Any idea why this is happening? How to fix it? I did no tweaks to code:blocks and settings are same as they come by default.

Answer 1

For any Avast user reading this

1. Open the interface
2. Go to settings
3. Go to general
4. Scroll down and you will find 'exclusion'
5. Enter the directory in which your CodeBlocks is installed. Also enter the directory in which you have saved your project.

Answer 2

The problem was with antivirus. Whitlisting gcc,g++ and codeblocks solved the problem.

Answer 3

I faced the same issue. Later I found out that, its due to antivirus. I don't have any antivirus install in my PC. It was windows Virus and threats protection which was running all the time, which make execution slow.

What I did is, Go to Manage settings. After that you will found Exclusions somewhere. Go to exclusions. Then go to Add/remove exclusions. There just add the folder where your .c or .cpp file is created. And then you are done.
