It can easily take over a minute to fetch and push something as simple as changing 1 byte. Whats with the massive idle time?

I had this problem this morning. I uninstalled GitHub Desktop. Then I searched from the root of c:\ for “GitHub Desktop” and deleted all the matching folders. Then I re-installed and it’s working fast again.

I confirm the issue has gone. An update (either 2.2.1 or 2.2.2) has fixed it.

@tierninho Hi, I am using Win 10. The system is up to date, but this also happened on my other pc which is also Win 10 but not up to date. I used choco command in CMD to installed version 1.5 later, and the app doesn’t have any lag anymore. So, I believe the lagging issue is only happening the latest version.
