Fixing Slow System Performance After Installation

Fixing Slow Performance After Installation

It is normal to experience a brief period of slower performance immediately after installing True Protection by Jag. The software performs initial system indexing and a first-run scan that can temporarily increase resource usage. This typically resolves within a few hours.

If Performance Remains Slow

If sluggish performance continues beyond the initial setup period, try these optimizations:

Optimize Scan Settings

• Set scan priority to Low in Settings > Scanner > Performance.
• Enable Smart Scan Scheduling so scans only run when the system is idle.
• Reduce the archive scanning depth if you have many nested compressed files.

Add Development or Build Tool Exclusions

If you are a software developer, your build tools and compilation processes create many temporary files rapidly. Add these directories to the exclusion list:

• Project build output directories (bin, obj, dist, node_modules)
• Virtual machine disk files
• Docker container storage directories
• Database data directories for local development servers

Check for Compatibility Issues

• Ensure you are running the latest version of True Protection.
• Update your operating system to the latest available version.
• Remove any other security software that may be causing resource contention.

If performance issues persist, contact our support team with a diagnostic report generated from Settings > General > Generate Diagnostic Report.
