How do I execute a .bat so that it does not take such a long time from ignition? If I do it from cmd it takes 2 min however if I execute it from a script in ignition it takes much more, about 8 min. ---

Show your script. See [Wiki - how to post code on this forum](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/wiki-how-to-post-code-on-this-forum/77831). Welcome to the forum. ---

Is the issue with accessing the file system? If you open a file explorer from Ignition, does that take a long time to open? Perhaps the issue is an OS security setting or something external to ignition that's delaying Ignition's access to local files.
