I recently got a new laptop with Windows 11. Producing the PDF (via XeLaTeX) always took a long time, even on a small document.

It turns out that I needed to invoke the XMLmind XML Editor using the “Run as administrator” option. Once I did that, XeLaTeX was able to update its information... read more
