waptdeploy is slow to install

Hello,
I'm using WAPT 1.6 and when deploying via GPO during a machine shutdown, the installation takes a full 15 minutes.

It takes roughly the same amount of time when installing manually.
Are you also experiencing this issue?
Is it solvable, or is it by design?

Thanks in advance,

Max

When I encounter this problem, it often comes from an antivirus that is a little too aggressive.

Thank you for your reply.

I did have quite a bit of trouble getting it to work with the ESET NOD32 7.0 antivirus
I created an exclusion rule based on the file hash because of the random name used by a subprocess of waptdeploy.
Wapt installed without an error message.

How can I know which folder/file to exclude and which is "slowing down" the installation?
