Whenever I join a new wifi network in Windows 7, the "Set Network Location" dialog box comes up and I choose Home, Work, or Public. But, then it takes maybe 10 seconds for this window to close. What is Windows doing that takes so long on modern computers? Just curious.

  • Configuring your network.

  • General "configuring" usually just sets a few (or maybe a few thousand) bytes, which should take no noticeable time. I tried to ask this first on Stack Overflow and there was some interest, but it got closed as off-topic there. I think this is a great simple case study for "What the heck is often stalling my computer?"
