Negative, what I actually said was some time ago, there was an update that caused some sort of issue for some reason, and the only thing that seems to solve it at this time is to have it regenerate the cache every single time. I linked to that post because somebody had asked the exact same question less than a week ago, and I really didn't feel like having to type everything out all over again, given that I was getting ready for work at that point. In any event, now that I have time to actually do this, here you go:

It shouldn't be required to rescan if it literally doesn't change, even though GSX is claiming it does. Modified date on the folder shows it last being changed days ago, yet GSX thinks it does, per the log.

Check your anti-virus to make sure you've excluded folders that P3D, GSX, and all of your sceneries are in, and that usually speeds it up.

Well thank you for posting those links this time, so there's an actual explanation from Umberto. I hope you can see why the link to your previous post didn't really provide a lot of info. "For some reason" doesn't really tell me if it's a bug or a feature. Unfortunate that it's an actual feature though, since it seems like a cop out workaround for fixing actual underlying problems.

I've excluded all of that. Like I said, it usually doesn't take all that long, but maybe once out of every 5-7 times, it'll take a good minute.

I get that, but with everything that's going on up here, I can't possibly be expected to remember every little detail about everything. When I'm trying to do this right before work, I don't have time to sit down and try to search through older posts, which took quite a while for me to find. I can either do my best to try to help or I can just ignore it and have people wonder why there hasn't been a response in a day or two.

As far as fixing the actual problem, if it's a result of an outdated Windows 10 version as suggested in Umberto's post that I linked, I don't know that there's much they can really do since they obviously can't force Windows 10 updates.

In that case, I got nothing.
