Long delay in node-red startup (WIN10)

[Steve-Mcl]

Hi, if you are behind a proxy (probably same effect if there is no internet) when node is starting, you can get a 3min delay.

See this thread...

Node-RED v0.19.4 3 minute delay during startup on windows

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 .

Essentially, set an env var SET NO_UPDATE_NOTIFIER=1 before launching node-red.
