NetBeans background scanning projects takes too long

Question

NetBeans background scanning projects takes too long. Every time when I open netbeans it scanning for ages. I used NetBeans 7.2 and it works perfecly. Now I formatted pc and rei

Answer 1

I had the same problem but in my case I was on Windows 10 and running NetBeans 8.1.

Before I formatted my laptop I copied and backed up C:\Users\user_name\AppData\Roaming\NetBeans\8.1 and C:\Users\user_name\AppData\Local\NetBeans\Cache folders

Then i followed the below steps:

1. Install NetBeans and run it.
2. Closed NetBeans
3. Go to C:\Users\user_name\AppData\Roaming\NetBeans\8.1 and C:\Users\user_name\AppData\Local\NetBeans\Cache folders and replace them with the backed up folders.
4. Run NetBeans again

I hope this solves your problem!!
