2020 Azure DevOps (onprem) is SOOOOO slow

Viewed 506

Issue: When going to our 2020 Azure DevOps (onprem) internal site - the page takes 2-4 minutes to load - any link thereafter takes 2-4 minutes to load. Everything eventually loads without error but this lag...UGH!

Background: Installed 2020 Azure DevOps on virtual server (Windows 2019) with 8 cores, 32GB RAM, HDD (C & D) 100GB each

I don't know if it's the installation or IIS or the server or something else that is ridiculously apparent to people who are way smarter than me - this is agonizing!

We encountered the same issue. When opening the URL it took a long time to open the website (approx. 2 minutes) but no error was shown. The server event log showed different errors (e.g. TF30065). Restarting the Azure DevOps Server, clearing Cache etc. did not improve the situation.

The culprit has then been identified as Kaspersky Antivirus. The solution was then to add the antivirus scanning exclusions from Microsoft.
Antivirus exclusions for Azure DevOps

Hope that was helpful.
