Finally - node-red startup 3 minutes faster!
For anyone behind a proxy having a 3 minute delay starting node-red...
- Using notepad/text editor, open
node-red.cmd
(look in you NPM Global folder) - Add the following line to the top of the file (before any other command)
SET NO_UPDATE_NOTIFIER=1
- Start node-red using the cmd file
node-red.cmd
- Enjoy the extra 3 mins
Thanks to @hotNipi, @KarnanKurup for pointing me in the right direction .
