I really don't know why I'm getting this.  Process monitor show me this horrible thing :   bds.exe is endlessly parsing all search path for .pas files and .dcu as you can see there (this last 15min ....)      And more scary : look the blue selection ( bds is using C:\Program Files (x86)\Embarcadero\Studio\19.0\bin\Borland.Studio.ToolsAPI.tlb )   MMX.reg
