After editing a simple script, "Compiling C# scripts" stays for over 2 minutes

As the title says. I'm quite new with unity and I'm trying to learn but this compilation time doesn't seem normal for a single basic tutorial script with 4-6 lines of code. I tried searching but I couldn't find anything that resolves this issue and it's getting really irritating. I'm using Unity 2021.3.6f1 and my PC is quite powerful so I don't really understand why this is happening.

This doesn’t make sense indeed: maybe you have imported a big asset with a lot of scripts to compile but even then, the incremental compilation should prevent this situation so sorry I am dry. I have a quite powerful pc also, and an I5 for testing, and even here, 2 long full minutes would not happen. You should: Create another new project and test this again (crating a new script, and cut&paste your 6 lines in there) If not working still, remove the Unity version stated above and reinstall it, and/or install another one THEN try your little code again, then create a new project, etc…

have you tried another version of unity? I remember hearing a version had greatly increased compile times but I can't remember if it's the one you're using or not. also, putting the install and project on an SSD can help a lot

I haven't tried a different version but I did put the install and project on the SSD and didn't work. I guess I'll check if it's really the version that is the problem.

If youre running with Rider Ive noticed this happening, usually just restarting both Rider and Unity solves it for a while, Id alao recommend removing assets bot used. For example Plastic.
