Performance in VR poor; other operation "slow"

[andrew]

Hello,

As a first step to troubleshoot this: which antivirus are you using?
In addition, which version of MSFS are you running?

Please post a screenshot of the antivirus exclusions.

As well as let you know if the MSFS LocalState folder resides on a HDD/slower SSD.

Hello,

Thanks for the notes.

I'd rather not say which antivirus I use, but I don't have anything from TDS excluded. That said, nothing comes up in scans or operation.
I don't mind adding it as an exclusion, though. What should I add?

MSFS is 2020.

Regarding the LocalState folder, I don't see one, though I have a Steam installation, so not sure if I do... where should I look? MSFS is running on a secondary   
NVMe drive, though I have TDS and Microsoft Flight Simulator folder on my main C drive (also NVMe.) The Packages folder in appdata > roaming >Microsoft Flight Simulator > packages also contains a TDS-GTNXi-Gauge folder.
