My windows 7 x64 build boots fairly quickly (20s). It's a lab PC with very little installed.
After seeing the desktop, launching applications that load a custom driver (several different ones) take more than a minute to open. I searched for similar posts but none matched.
During the wait, windows task manager shows zero activity so it looks like a timeout issue.
After the first application is open, the rest will open instantly. All these apps also use WMI as far as I know.
The PC is disconnected from the network and I've tried disabling the network driver. No effect.
Has anyone managed to solve such an issue w/o a full reinstall of the OS?
