A couple of months ago, The Bat started to have a slow shutdown om my PC. Instead of a second or two display of compacting folders (ssd made this very quick), there has been a 45+ second delay, where the program is completely unresponsive, with the mouse cursor becoming a circle, before the folder compacting screen appears and it shuts down. Only The Bat is unresponsive, everything else is ok and my PC is not locked up.
If, during use of The Bat, I go in to the Preferences screen, the same delay occurs in making any change to any setting there. Oddly, once one change is made, any subsequent changes in the same session are immediate. Even more oddly, The Bat then shuts down completely normally until the next time it is opened, when it's back to slow shutdowns again.
Things I've tried:
1. Going through all the preferences settings to make sure paths etc. are valid.
2. Deleting as much old mail as possible in case something has got corrupted.
3. Folder maintenance - no issues found.
4. Complete uninstall via the Changes option to remove all folders, then restored from back-up. Problem remains.
5. Chkdsk for corrupted files - no problem.
Anything else I can try?
