PyCharm: How Can I Launch PyCharm Faster?

PyCharm is one of the most popular Python IDE software. It bundles a lot of functions which are useful and important for the application developers.

However, because its powerful abilities come with high cost, Windows Defender slows down PyCharm by scanning its file. This cause PyCharm start quite slow. You can fix this annoying issue by excluding PyCharm out of process scan list.

Here are the steps for adding PyCharm to exclusion list:

Go to Start > Settings -> Update & Security -> Virus & threat protection -> Virus & threat protection
Under Virus & threat protection settings select Manage settings
Under Exclusions, select Add or remove exclusions
Select Add exclusion
Specify the name of PyCharm executable, for example, “pycharm64.exe”process for PyCharm .
Close PyCharm and run it again.

List of processes excluded from scanning by Windows.

To me, PyCharm is (at least) twice as fast as that before adding process to exclusion list. COOL!
