• This initial loading can take anywhere from 5 to 30+ minutes depending on your hardware (CPU, RAM, and especially if it's on an HDD vs SSD).
• If you're running it on an HDD, it will be significantly slower. SSD is highly recommended.
• Make sure you have enough free RAM — ISTA can easily consume 4–8 GB.

• Check Task Manager — if ISTAGUI.exe or related processes are still actively using CPU/disk, it's still working. Just wait.
• If CPU and disk activity are flat/zero for a long time, it may be genuinely hung. In that case, kill the process and try restarting.
• Make sure your antivirus/Windows Defender isn't scanning or quarantining ISTA files in the background — this is a very common cause of extreme slowness. Add the entire ISTA installation folder to your exclusion list.
• Verify that the SQLite databases (.db files) in the SQLiteDBs folder are not corrupted or zero-size.
• Try running ISTA as Administrator.

From your screenshot, ISTA+ 4.58.41 has launched successfully and is showing the BMW Motorrad Service Workshop system screen. The "Ongoing background process - It will take a moment..." dialog is completely normal — this is ISTA loading its internal databases and initializing services on first launch or after a fresh install.

What to expect:

• This initial loading can take anywhere from 5 to 30+ minutes depending on your hardware (CPU, RAM, and especially if it's on an HDD vs SSD).
• If you're running it on an HDD, it will be significantly slower. SSD is highly recommended.
• Make sure you have enough free RAM — ISTA can easily consume 4–8 GB.

If it's been stuck for over 2 hours:

• Check Task Manager — if ISTAGUI.exe or related processes are still actively using CPU/disk, it's still working. Just wait.
• If CPU and disk activity are flat/zero for a long time, it may be genuinely hung. In that case, kill the process and try restarting.
• Make sure your antivirus/Windows Defender isn't scanning or quarantining ISTA files in the background — this is a very common cause of extreme slowness. Add the entire ISTA installation folder to your exclusion list.
• Verify that the SQLite databases (.db files) in the SQLiteDBs folder are not corrupted or zero-size.
• Try running ISTA as Administrator.

Two hours is on the long side but not unheard of on slow hardware with a first-time launch. If it completes and subsequent launches are also very slow, your storage speed is likely the bottleneck.

Claude tell me AiRForkServices.dll was the problem...

Click to expand...

1. Kill both ISTA processes from Task Manager.
2. Check if AiRForkServices.dll exists in your ISTA installation folder (typically in the main ISTA directory or in a subfolder like TesterGUI).
3. Make sure Windows Defender / your antivirus has NOT quarantined or deleted this file — this is the #1 cause. Check your antivirus quarantine/history.
4. Add the entire ISTA folder to your antivirus exclusion list.
5. If the DLL was removed by antivirus, restore it from quarantine or re-extract it from the original archive.
6. After restoring, unblock the DLL: right-click the file → Properties → check if there's an "Unblock" checkbox at the bottom → tick it → Apply.
7. Re-run the setup/раtсh if needed, then launch ISTA again as Administrator.

From your Task Manager screenshot, both ISTAGUI.exe and IstaServicesHost.exe are running but showing 0% CPU and 0K delta — this means they are completely idle/hung, not actually doing any work.

Regarding the AiRForkServices.dll issue — yes, this is a known problem with some standalone ISTA builds. This DLL is part of the licensing/activation раtсh, and if it's blocked, corrupted, or incompatible, ISTA will launch but hang during initialization exactly as you're seeing.

Steps to fix:

1. Kill both ISTA processes from Task Manager.
2. Check if AiRForkServices.dll exists in your ISTA installation folder (typically in the main ISTA directory or in a subfolder like TesterGUI).
3. Make sure Windows Defender / your antivirus has NOT quarantined or deleted this file — this is the #1 cause. Check your antivirus quarantine/history.
4. Add the entire ISTA folder to your antivirus exclusion list.
5. If the DLL was removed by antivirus, restore it from quarantine or re-extract it from the original archive.
6. After restoring, unblock the DLL: right-click the file → Properties → check if there's an "Unblock" checkbox at the bottom → tick it → Apply.
7. Re-run the setup/раtсh if needed, then launch ISTA again as Administrator.

Since your system language appears to be Italian — make sure there are no special characters in the installation path (keep it simple, e.g. C:\ISTA).

Let us know if the DLL is present or if it was quarantined.
