XShell6 very slow startup/new shell window

Tuesday, January 23, 2018 2:10 PM - Christian

XShell 6 needs about 60 seconds to start and about 20 seconds to open a new shell window. Any help would be appreciated. My system is a Dell XPS 15 9560 with 32GB RAM. I am using XShell 6 Beta Build 0073

Program Ver. : Xshell 6

Are you using Windows 10 Redstone 3 (Fall Creators Update) by any chance? There is an issue with Windows 10 that Microsoft is aware of. We are almost certain the reason Xshell is running poorly is related to this issue. However, we are further investigating and hope to improve the user experience for our users soon.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Thank you!

Thanks for your reply and sorry for the late answer. It is Windows 10 Build 1709. I found out after rebooting the Computer XShell ist starting much faster. Normally I am using the sleep mode. It seems there is an relation between Windows run time and the slowdown of XShell. I will watch it further.
