Local runs very slow and I have trusted the local site with the SSL trust button but does not recognise it as secure, can you help please? ---

@devapc, Please try enabling Faster Docker Volumes under Preferences » Advanced. If the site is still slow, see [Very slow on Windows 10](https://local.getflywheel.com/community/t/very-slow-on-windows-10/5982). Sorry for the slowdown! ---

I have tried using the Faster Docker Volumes but it seems to just disable itself after a while? Edit: I am using Avast (as I noticed someone had an issue with it in the post you linked), do you know how to make them both work together? ![Screenshot_1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/lwpforums/original/2X/a/a654e6c1d2ef397d5a4f8b78e6485b7a999e141d.jpg) ---

I have foillowed Iws’ guide but the only problem that the executable file WinNFSd.exe doesn’t exist within the directory ‘extraResources’, strange. ![Screenshot_1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/lwpforums/original/2X/3/320e842e55fe117abddd26548357a188f09d0515.jpg) ---

What version of Local are you running? If you’re running 2.2.4 or newer, check Avast’s quarantine. ---

It is vesion 2.2.4 but I’m not really sure how to check the quarantine. ![Screenshot_1](https://sea1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/images/transparent.png) ---

My bad! It’s called “Virus Chest” in Avast. See [https://support.avast.com/en-us/article/Use-Antivirus-Virus-Chest](https://support.avast.com/en-us/article/Use-Antivirus-Virus-Chest) ---

So this is 2019, and I am having all of the issues that has been described in this thread. The only differences is that My “WinNFSd.exe” is fine… it’s not being quarantined by avast and I can find it the “extraRsources” folder… I have combed through every thread on this issue in the forums and tried every suggested solution and none seems to work for me… So, pleeeeease. Can somebody help me? ---
