If you're lucky, making adjustments (disabling real time protection mode or whitelisting LC and its filetypes) to your Anti Virus (such as Windows Defender) may alleviate the symptoms of this problem. That works in most but not all cases. Also turn off most of the "auto" features such as coloring and autocomplete and real-time compile in the script editor. See this bug:

https://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=21604

And if applicable, add your own CC and note!

Notice the bug title is misleading, because (as I found out after filing the report) Macs sometimes have the same symptoms. Which platform are you using?

If you're not lucky and tweaking (or changing) AV doesn't do the trick, or if you're on Mac, please consider attempting a reliable recipe, because that has proved elusive. At the moment I'm no longer able to flip a setting on my computer to cause the Anti Virus obvious exaggeration of the symptoms on Windows, but eventually when I have some time I may attempt a recipe for Mac.

> Which version of LC are you using?

I'm one of the lucky ones with greatly reduced symptoms after changing my AV, so using LC 902 an 901 on Win 10 and Mac, also LC 6.7 on Win 10 and Mac for some work.
