FM-16.xxx sacrifices ESTK

[K.Daube]

On Win11 FM16.0.4.1062 execution of a script needs 50 times as long as other set-ups .

On Win-10 the very same FM-version behaves (execution time of script ≤ 10 seconds)

Other tests with the very saame script on Win11 (FM-14.0.4.511, FM-17.0.2.431) also execute the script within ≤ 10 seconds.

► What the heck is going on here?

I have tested again after changes of the redsistributable C++ modules [Adobe support for another problem].

In FM-16 the script execution takes 6 min, while in FM-17 and even FM-14 it takes about 5 seconds.During execution the cpu load oszillates between 0 and 1% (including all activities of the system)...

Today I took the time to re-install FM-16 from version 0 (releasea9 to 5 (the latest).

In every version I checked the behavior of running the script - it always took less than 5 sec to execute. Hence the problem was one of these windows quirks which urge me at least 20 times a year to re-install something…
