So I recently wiped my laptop and downgraded to Windows 7 from 8.1 and ever since my PuTTY SSH sessions have been having an issue with going extremely slow if they are idle for 15 minutes. When I first connect to any server, the SSH sessions is responsive and quick. After 15 minutes of being idle, when I open the window again it takes almost 10 seconds for a character to appear on the screen after I press a key on the keyboard. If I open a new PuTTY window and connect to the same server, the responsiveness is normal while the original window remains slow. This happens on every SSH session, even local servers so I don't think it's a network issue. When I connect to the same servers using PuTTY on a different computer, it can be idle for hours and not have an issue so I think it's limited to my laptop.
Can anybody think of any settings in Windows or PuTTY that would cause this? I've imported my PuTTY settings from another computer that does not have this issue and it hasn't helped at all. Any ideas are appreciated, I've even looked into other SSH programs but most of the recommended ones are forks of PuTTY so I don't think that would help me. Thanks!
