Hello Richard,

I'm using Windows 10 22H2

Steps to reproduce:

  • I am starting Questa from scratch by simply starting the start menu shortcut with its default working directory. (on my machine it is D:\intelFPGA\25.1.1_pro\questa_fe\win64)
  • I change directory to any other directory. The target directory does not contain a modelsim.ini
  • But I may also change directory to my actual working directory which contains the attached modelsim.ini.
  • The slowness occurs before I even start any compilation nor simulation

Best regards

Fabian
