Very slow start-up of Deluge in Windows 10

[vlix]

Hi all,

Since upgrading my PC to Windows 10 (x64), I'm experiencing extremely slow start-up times for Deluge (exactly 58 seconds before the GUI appears, every time). After the slow start-up, Deluge works fine. It's a clean install of Deluge, and no torrents need to be loaded. The GUI is running in classic mode. I've tried to find logging, but can't find any. I thought there was supposed to be a deluge.log in c:\users\<profile>\appdata\roaming\deluge, but there isn't. Things I've tried so far (but which have made no difference):

- Turned off firewall
- Turned off antivirus
- Started Deluge with administrative privileges
- Tried both the Python 2.6 version and the Python 2.7 version of Deluge 1.3.12-1.
- Tried the Python 2.6 version of Deluge 1.3.9.

I'm out of ideas... does anyone here have any ideas what could be wrong? Thanks!

Same exact problem here... Takes at least 3-4 minutes to start up. Sometimes longer. My PC is very fast, built for Gaming.

Did you turn off the windows defender ?

I only heard about deluge after I upgraded to Windows 10, but I did run into a ton of problems after doing the "upgrade" to Windows 10. The upgrade is only required to reserve your copy of the OS and afterwards your hardware ID (from the motherboard) is stored on the MS servers you can download the media creation tool to make your own copy and do a clean install, then it will automatically activate itself the first time you connect to the internet (or at least it's supposed to). I would highly recommend you do a clean install from USB or DVD if you haven't already (since this thread is already a week old) and let it do its updates before you try installing anything. Check for updates, reboot when necessary and keep checking for updates until it's done. For me, deluge starts up in less than a few seconds. I don't know if I'm allowed to post links here because I haven't read the guidelines yet (just created the account to write this) but if you search "download windows 10" in google, it should be one of the first, if not the first link that pops up. Just make sure it's a Microsoft web link. Here's the direct link to the tool for your convenience which the admins can remove if it's not allowed: https://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/softwar ... /windows10

As always, before you format there are a few things to remember, and even before downloading this tool.

1. Make sure you backup anything you need to keep to an external hard drive or a separate partition since formatting is highly recommended also.
2. Check the version of windows you are running (32 or 64bit version) IIRC you SHOULD be able to upgrade from the 32bit to 64bit version, but not vice versa. (64 is better anyway if you have a supported CPU)
3. If you have not upgraded to windows 10 yet, do the UPGRADE first and then do a clean install or your "copy" will not be reserved for activation. You cannot activate a clean install unless you've done the upgrade first because MS verifies whether you are eligible for the upgrade based on the currently installed copy of windows you are running.
4. After you've done the upgrade, check which version of windows has been installed and then go back to the media creation tool from the link above and download the appropriate version and then you'll be able to do a clean install.

I'm assuming you know what you're doing if you need a clean install so these basic steps are for anyone new coming into this thread who might not have done the upgrade yet.

This seems like a bit of a stretch to get a slow program to start faster though and it's obviously not guaranteed to work.

Good luck

Thanks for the replies.

@ manu4000rocourt: Windows Defender is disabled on my system.

@ urdoomd: I am, in fact, already running a clean install of Windows 10.

You might find out the culprit by using Process Monitor.

You might find out the culprit by using Process Monitor.

I've made a trace of Deluge starting up with Process Monitor, but I don't really have the expertise to make sense of it. There is no obvious time when deluge.exe stops functioning or is waiting for a timeout or anything. Basically deluge.exe is doing all sorts of activities for about a minute, after which it finally actually starts. Some of it does seem repetitive, like it's doing the same thing over and over again.

To get a clean report:

• Start Process Monitor, then Deluge.
• Once Deluge has started, in Process Monitor stop capturing (Ctrl+E).
• Then include only deluge.exe (in "Process Name" column, right-clic on deluge.exe > Include "deluge.exe")

To analyse the events:

• You may guess long operations by scrolling back and forth through "Time of Day" column (requires a bit of dexterity!)
• By using "Tools > File Summary..." you could see if there is an I/O bottleneck

OK, so I did a completely fresh, virginal install of Deluge 1.3.12-1-win32-py2.6-setup.exe. Then I logged the startup process with deluge -L debug -l delugelog.txt. See below for what came out.

Basically, it starts, does a bunch of stuff for a second, then logs absolutely nothing for 20 seconds, then does some more stuff, then logs absolutely nothing for another 37 seconds, then does some more stuff, then freezes again for 18 seconds, then finally it's done.
