trying to solve post-command latency

[nlguerra2003]

I haven't been able to see how to solve this so here I am.

Even using the simplest configuration file I can think of --and using a SSD to store the program--, I'm getting almost half a second of delay after a command has been executed, and before the next prompt spawns.

Video demonstration of latency:

System32.2022-06-01.14-17-41_Trim.mp4

As you can see, the command doesn't take long to execute, but the problem seems to come when the program loads the prompt.

Config file:

{
    "$schema": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JanDeDobbeleer/oh-my-posh/main/themes/schema.json",
    "blocks": [
        {
            "alignment": "left",
            "segments": [
                {
                    "foreground": "blue",
                    "properties": {
                        "style": "letter"
                    },
                    "style": "plain",
                    "template": " {{ .Path }} #",
                    "type": "path"
                }
            ],
            "type": "prompt"
        }
    ],
    "console_title_template": "{{if .Root }}Administrator:{{end}}{{ .Folder }}",
    "version": 2
}

And --for some reason-- oh-my-posh debug will say that it takes only 18ms (perhaps I'm understanding it wrong).

I don't mean to blame any dev for this thing since I'm a big noob at OhMyPosh. Have you ran through this kind of problem? How did you solve it?

@nlguerra2003 make sure to add an exclusion to Defender or any other virus scanning tool. The execution is blocked as oh-my-posh itself takes 17ms start to finish.

[nlguerra2003]

first glance I thought "huh this didn't work as I already added an exclusion", but I noticed I only excluded the .exe file and excluding the whole bin folder --for some reason-- works fine.

Thanks for your help.
