### The prompt is slow (delay in showing the prompt between commands)
:::tip Windows
Make sure Windows Defender, or your AntiVirus, has an exclusion [configured][exclusion].
The delay you're experiencing may be linked to the real-time protection features of antivirus software.
To potentially alleviate this delay, ensure that Windows Defender or your primary antivirus software has an [exclusion][exclusion] set for the full path of the executable. To identify the full path of the executable in question, you can run the following command in a PowerShell prompt:
```powershell
(Get-Command oh-my-posh).Source
```
Additionally, check your antivirus settings for features that actively scan scripts during execution. Even with exclusions set, some antivirus programs might still actively scan scripts, which can introduce a noticeable delay.
:::
:::caution
Always proceed with caution to maintain a balance between system performance and security. Modifying security settings or adding exclusions can expose your system to potential threats.
