    Hello,

    Operating System Win 8.1 64bit
    Portable version 2.27 and 2.28

    KeePass is super fast if I copy its folder on the PC desktop.

    However on USB stick it is extremely slow to
    - show the KeepPass.exe icon so that I can click on it to launch the application (also 60 s)
    - show the login window (20 to 100 s, depending on the USB stick)
    What can I do?

    Thanks

    KeePass reads its code from the USB device and a slow device will make KeePass slow.
    It is possible your anti-virus gets in the way, try disabling it temporarily.
    Do you have a USB hard disk to test? These are often faster than USB flash drives.

    cheers, Paul

    Hi Paul, you are right, this is just related to the USB device. KeePass is really faster on a USB hard disk. We can consider this post answered and closed. Thanks.
