"""
It's caused by conhost.exe excessively hammering the registry to query the following two values:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ImmersiveShell\TabletMode
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\DWM\ColorPrevalence
Having previously reported this issue through Feedback Hub (to no avail), let me offer my observations from debugging this issue:
It's not specific to Dell's XPS series - I've been able to reproduce on any Windows 10 installation from version 1703 and up
It only occurs when the console application writes output that causes the console to scroll
It only occurs when the console application in question is in foreground/focus
Each reg value mentioned above is queried 6 times, per scroll!!!
"""
The solution I use is to minimize the terminal when it's scrolling. When I compile my projects if I don't minimize the terminal it takes forever to finish.
