    Question app lagging on entering text in TextBox on Windows11Pro64-Bit

    Hello,
    I have a simple app that uses mdb as a database created in vb6.
    For years the app is working perfectly and without a problem on any Windows machines.
    Now the customer has bought a powerful machine and the app is lagging on entering simple text into the TextBox, every few seconds for a 2 to 3 seconds while typing the text. The whole app freezes for a second or 2 every few seconds.
    No code events are firing on this textbox change or keyup, down,.... events.

    The spec for this computer are:
    Intel s1700 i9-14900 + 64 GB RAM + 2*960GB + 2TB + 700w
    Operating system installed:
    MS FQC-10524 ”OEM*Windows11Pro64-Bit

    The machine is new (3 months old)
    Nothing is running in the background. They use only Office and this vb6 app on it.

    I tried with compatibility settings but nothing.
    Tried to remove all from the startup, but nothing.
    The CPU, I/O, network, no spikes in Task Manager.
    Turned off Windows Defender,
    Turned off the Windows update,
    Tried with unplugged from the local network and from the internet, but nothing.

    Very strange, a simple text input on a new strong machine lagging on entering text.

    Any Ideas?
    My projects:
    Virtual Forms
    VBA Telemetry

    Whenever this has happened to one of my VB6 program it has turned out to be an external problem, often due to a/v tools. Are you sure Defender is really off? Did you reboot afterwards?

    Did you attempt to set an exclusion for the folder within Defender?
    Is there any other a/v tool that you are unaware of?

    Have you tried installing on another machine with the same spec./config.?

    Try disabling DEP (Data Execution Prevention)
