Hey,
recently I my SPSS 28 startup became slow when launching the app. I've added the SPSS (C:\Program Files\IBM\SPSS\Statistics\) path the Windows Defender exclusion list as
described here but it does not seem to help.
What is strange is that the startup is slow only when I open SPSS by clicking on a .sav or script file. It takes 10-15 seconds before I even see the IBM/SPSS logo.
However, If I launch SPSS directly (e.g. from the start menu or from the desktop icon) it launches fast.
It is definitely a Windows/Defender issue because it goes away if I disable and enable again the Win Antivirus. However after a reboot of the PC, the issue comes back.
I'm aware this question should be asked rather on a Windows support forum but maybe someone here has a similar issue.
thanks in advance for your help
