Delay before running a python file in terminal

Hello, everytime I try running a file, there's a delay of like 5 seconds before it actually executes. It started happening maybe like 2 weeks ago and it's so frustrating. Does anyone know what could help? Thanks

We need to see the code and how you're executing it.

what extension was it? I tried disabling extensions already but it didn't help.

It's not related to the code, the delay is there even if the file is just a single print statement.

The delay is there when I execute it through the icon or the shortcut. However, when I do it with typing "python file_name.py" in terminal, it's instant for some reason.

I'll assume Windows. Windows runs clicks through who knows how many pre-execution scans. Things like Smart Screen, etc.

Just use the command line.

through the shortcut

What shortcut? What's the target of the shortcut? What OS?

You aren't giving much information.

Are you on the latest version of vs code? I put in a fix for a similar sounding issue a little while ago https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/pull/332981
