Here are some more details:

Its a Windows machine.

I am currently on AE 17.1.4. but I have also had the same issue on 17.0.1

I am using a SSD is samsung evo internal drive

The problem happens regardless of what hard drive is being used.

I have collected all the my project footage into one place on the same hard drive and the problem still persists.

The project I am testing is 19.9 MB. however it’s happening on all my projects

I Did the following test below.

If I click save without touching anything its taking 7 minutes to save

If I hit save and open a window in front of AE it only takes 3 seconds to save

Do you know why is this the case? Thanks
