<p>Hi,</p>
<p>These are all good points. I also had severe issues with
Antivirus - it slowed down or prevented a lot of the network
access. The IT services had to add exceptions.</p>
<p>But you describe that it only happens after a couple of days of
usage, which is strange.</p>
<p>If you find out what the issues really is, please let us know, so
we can learn.<br>

<p>Hi Koos -</p>
<p>I had a talk with my wife Lene Fischer about your issues. (She
is a Assoc. Prof. teaching GIS at a department of the University
of Copenhagen using QGIS. I co-lecture with her on the use of
spatial enabled databases (PostgreSQL/ PostGIS)). <br>
</p>
<p>She hasn't experienced the issues you describe (but some other
issues) <br>
</p>
<p>Here is some pointers:</p>
<ul>
<li>Use a long-term releases and keep up with the point releases
3.10.3 -> 3.10.4 (Which you do :-)</li>
<li>Clean the temp dir regularly (Which you did :-)</li>
<li>Check the setup of your windows pointers to user-dirs, temp
space. Sometimes they are not suited for computers outside the
university network (or inside, if the network sucks) <br>
</li>
<li>Check if your logon name contains special characters outside
us-ASCII like accented character or blanks. QGIS is fine with
these but some add-on libraries is not. The logon name can be
a part of a path name that something chokes on.</li>
<li>Check your antivirus by temporarily disable it before using
QGIS.</li>
<li>Check your disk space. The temp dir can "grow" considerably
during QGIS use. <br>
</li>
<li>Check the amount of memory used on your computer. If you <b>are</b>
using all available ram you <b>will</b> get the symptoms you
describe<br>
</li>
<li>Install a minimum of plugins.</li>
<li>Keep your windows installation as clean as possible. QGIS
might conflict with some other software installed on your
computer. You might try to install QGIS on computer with a new
clean install of windows. Check if the error is repeated on
the new computer. <br>
</li>
<li>You might try with installing QGIS from the "network
installer" utility instead of a stand-alone installation (<a
class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="https://download.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/osgeo4w-setup-x86_64.exe"
moz-do-not-send="true">https://download.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/osgeo4w-setup-x86_64.exe</a>).
It defaults to another installation directory than the
stand-alone installation. That might help.</li>
<li>If nothing of the above works - try another version of QGIS
i.e. 3.12.1. <br>
The network installer has the possibility to install a
"bleeding edge" version of QGIS but I won't recommend using
these in a teaching situation (or any other situation which
involves inexperienced users). But you can use it in a testing
situation <br>
<br>
</li>
</ul>

<p>Hi Koos: <span style="mso-fareast-language:NL"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p>That's not much information to go on. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>What about: OS type and version ? 32/64 bit os ? QGIS
version ? QGIS 32/64 bit ? network environment ? Normal
stand-alone installation or Network installation ?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>I'll hazard a <b>guess</b> based on my own painful
experiences: You are working in a networked windows setup,
where your IT department has made some modifications for
home directory (including temp file placement) and/or the
userdata environment - maybe making it fully dependant on
the network. And maybe You are using the same login account
for all pupils. Combine this with a marginally functioning
network and it will be a train wreck<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Another scenario: You have installed some plugin, that's
not working correctly.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>What you can test: <o:p></o:p></p>
<ul type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal"
style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0
level1 lfo1"> Disable/Remove all plugins from QGIS and
test if the problem goes away <o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"
style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0
level1 lfo1"> Load some GIS data locally on you computer
and disconnect the computer from the network. Then test
QGIS again.<o:p></o:p></li>
</ul>
<p>That said, QGIS ver. 3.10 onwards has long startup times.
However it's quick and stable after that<o:p></o:p></p>
