EQ very slow with Windows 10

if you run gina or gamparse where your readign the log file you need to exclude the folder

No you don't. Are you running on a 386 or something? what's with all the excludes?

no a ROG laptop with a I7

for me i was lagging on raids with GINA and parse running. i excluded the folder in windows defender and problem went away.

there was a bunch of posts on the EQ forums about it. i guess defender was trying to play middleman
