windows quick virus scan

[Luke Bakken]

Hi Sam,

What version of Erlang are you using? Older versions started up slowly
on Windows due to a bug - https://github.com/erlang/otp/issues/4193

If you completely disable virus scanning on your machine, is the issue resolved?

I use Windows to do Erlang development and do not experience these
issues, even with anti-virus software running.

Thanks -
Luke
