I have a laptop that is part of a domain.
Unfortunately, when the laptop is not connected to the domain, I observe extremely irritating delays in various situations. For example, when I start Google Chrome and then exit it, the process doesn't actually terminate until approximately 85 seconds after the window has been closed. I can confirm this is caused by the lack of a reachable domain controller, because Process Monitor shows me that (in this case) Google Chrome is attempting a TCP Reconnect operation to the domain controller on port epmap
and failing. And furthermore, when I connect to the domain via VPN, the delays go away entirely.
Is there any way for me to fix this issue? The delays are irritating enough that I can't use my laptop unless I'm actually connected to the domain, which is not something I would expect.
