I just started following the tutorial for ReactJs using Node create-react-app.

I am developing this in Visual Studio Code.

When I run npm start, it is 3-5 minutes before the server is started up, and that seems very slow.

I saw many tips on here that said to add it to windows defender as an exclusion from real-time protection, but that did not work for me.

I saw some tips about disabling IPv6, and that also did not work.

Anything else I should check?

This is on a Windows 10 Pro installation.

As it turned out, the problem was very simple, and I wanted to make sure other people would have the this post when searching in the future.

I had accidentally created my VS Code workspace on a Samba drive, and so it was pulling all the modules over the network.

I moved that to my SSD and, to nobodies surprise, it started working as expected.
