I installed Git on my **Windows 10** a couple of months ago. It worked well for some time. But now, it&#39;s running very slow.

The `git status` command takes **7 seconds** to execute, and `git stash` takes **many minutes** for stashing (even if there is nothing to stash). Also, I would like to point out that `git status` prints the result instantaneously, but I can not enter a new command for a few seconds, as shown in the image below.

I have tried solutions to similar problems like [link1][2], [link2][3], etc., but none of these have worked.

**P.S.:** I use Windows Defender antivirus, and it is **NOT** making my Bash slow. Also, **cmd** takes more time to execute `git` commands while **git bash** takes longer to run any command.

**Update:** I have switched to Ubuntu, and therefore, I don&#39;t use Windows presently. So, there is no way I can check if any of the solutions work for me. I have accepted the answer provided by [@pschild][4] since it has the most upvotes and seems to have worked for many people.
