Decryption BitLocker moving VERY slowly and always taking to copy files - is this normal?

Hi - I'm eager to decipher my drive, and when I clicked on the option to decrypt in Windows 7 Ultimate edition, it began to 17.9%.

Here we are, more than 12 hours later, and we are at 19.3%!
Seriously, it's going to take weeks (or even months) to decrypt this thing? Is it possible to speed it up? Virtually none of my CPU is used - why? It is very disturbing to me because my other hard drive is dying and will not last more than a few days, if that.
In addition to this, I can't just copy the data off of it because it moves very SLOWLY! For example, my drive C (not bitlocked) is able to load all images in a folder with photos instantly. On the bitlocker drive, now, each photo takes 2-5 seconds to load. Amazing! Data transfer looks like 30 KB/s. It would take years to copy. Why is everything that happens at the same time? What's causing the slowdown? The player works wonderfully until I went to decrypt. What a nightmare!

Hello thefoxbox,.

BitLocker has done with encryption?  How big are the two disks that you encrypt?  Please let us know status.

About how long will initial encryption when BitLocker is enabled?

BitLocker encryption occurs in the background while you continue to work and the system remains usable, but encryption times vary according to the type of reader that is being encryption, the size of the disk and the speed of the drive. If you encrypt very large capacity disks, you can set encryption occur during times when you won't be using the drive.

    Also you can watch latency spikes. Essentially, it is an application, driver, or a combination that will push the CPU to its limits and so your system will have spikes where the transformer is overloaded. Requests will be have lag or stop responding, audio or video will pause or break up.

  • File size shows 422 MB. I reduced the photos and rebooted and it shows still 422 MB. Program runs very slowly and stops while I'm editing.

    Muse works very slowly and stops while I'm editing. The file size is 422 MB. I have resized the pictures on the site, and reloaded. It shows still 422MB. My return carbonite says until there are 5 versions. I can't find many versions on my computer.

    A 187 MB file is large but are not rare. The .muse file size is entirely dependent on the size and complexity of your site.

    Where is stored the .muse file? It's on an internal drive, external hard drive, network drive, other?

    Please send the file 'MuseLog.txt' to the 'Documents' folder to my attention at [email protected] along with a link to this topic of forum for the context. The log should contain additional information about the 1034 (and any other error) you met. Thank you.

    If your site will develop continuously, it is good for the design and approach it like a series of "micro sites" - each published/uploaded to a folder on your domain. In this way individual "micro-sites" can be kept smaller and so will perform better in the Muse. For the visitor to the site, it looks like a Web site.

  • First Pro CC moving very slowly since the upgrade to 2015.3

    I've updated the other day to 2015.3 and nothing in trouble have since then. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling and even tried to go back to the 2015.2 version, but when I did I couldn't open one of my old projects. When I say that it moves very slowly, it is probably an understatement. It takes about nine minutes to open a project, and 8-9 minutes extra for video clips appear in the library. I'm on Windows 10 with a processor I7 with 16 G of RAM. I have never had any problems with first Pro CC in the past and like it, but this is crazy. So now, I have nine value terabyte of videos that I can't do something with and have eight days before the project is due. It would normally take me a few days to do what I'm trying to do, but at the rate he now travels would take me probably months. I hope I can find a fix quickly before I have to go to another editing software so that I can meet my deadlines.

    I found out with the help if you go into preferences, then to the media and uncheck the box "Enable accelerated h.264 decoding (reboot required) Intel" then he corrects this problem. So if you are shooting with a Sony or anything that uses AVCHD format, then you need to do.

  • Windows 7 SP1 w/IE 11 freezes, slow performance with switching webpages, downloads, games run very slowly and when to play simple games (for example, CandyCrush Saga) it ignores the graphics and music.

    I have an older Toshiba Satellite laptop I found that, after buying new laptops, I return to my only older because of its speed of travel from site to site, download and never had any problems with games.  I was running Windows 7 Home Edition, IE 9.

    About a year ago, I decided to upgrade my Windows 7 Home Edition to Windows 7 Professional and updated my browser IE 11.  Laptop still has a large.

    Then about 6 months ago I started to receive messages when you enter a Web site that I need to install Flash Player to view the page.  I checked my modules and Shockwave or Flash Player have been activated and would download it again to display the Web site (which I had already visited several times without any problems).  This has happened on several different sites.  Then I started to receive messages that I needed to upgrade my IE8 browser to a newer version.  I checked HELP to make sure that I still installed IE11 and I did it, I started getting these messages more often then I went to the aid of Microsoft Office on what to do if your Web pages telling you to upgrade.  Basically, IE11 is reset or uninstall IE11.  Reset is not good so I tried the method of reinstallment.  I uninstalled IE11, went to the download page for Microsoft IE11 and proceeds to download IE11.

    I saw a message that I couldn't download IE11 because I need to Windows 7 SP1 or later or Windows server 2008.  Then, I went to Microsoft requirements for the installation of Service Pack 1 for Windows 7 and follow-up procedures one (i.e., uninstall Adobe Acrobet, disabling Microsoft Security Essentials and Windows Defender and firewall, etc.) and after the installation of SP1 for Windows 7, followed all procedures to know what to do after the installation of SP1.  Downloaded all the updates (which were more than 120) restarted and was satisfied with fluent how my laptop worked once more.

    After a week, I noticed my phone to talk more and more to load pages and would begin to get Windows Explorer "unresponsive".  It started with almost everything I opened and I tried to edit Web pages or click icon to redirect me to another window, I kept receiving "not responding".  Rose (Microsoft), what to do and monitoring tools to try to fix the problem.  Initially, the problem was to find for a few hours, then starting upwards.  After a few days, my laptop almost took 30-45 seconds to switch between the tabs or windows.  After a search through questions and answers in the Microsoft community and Microsoft Web pages, the bottom line was reinstall Windows 7 SP1.

    Yet once, uninstalled and reinstalled Windows 7 SP1 and again ran perfect for a few days.  I turned on computer laptop yesterday and noticed that it took a long time for the upcoming Windows logo and has a black screen for a few seconds before the logo appears.  Of course, out of nowhere, I went to IE clicked icon and took forever to get to Yahoo (which is my predefined Web page).  Each page, I'm going to again is freezing, "not responding" and very slow operation.

    It is so frustrating because I added not all programs at all.  I am running IE11, Microsoft Security Essentials, and that's all. Outside of Windows Defender, firewall, Explorer, Media player, etc..  Microsoft Security Essentials (I did a full scan) has detected no viruses whatsoever and I 264 GB 285 GB free on my C: drive.  Therefore, there is no problem with the free space.  I have deleted the old files, temp files, analyzed and defragmented my hard drive and am just lost as to what is the cause.  All my drives are underway and have no conflict with all devices.  If I go down my Windows Professional so I will not be able to download anything higher than IE9.  I love IE11 and am happy with Win 7 SP1 if only he would stay longer than 3 or 4 working days.

    Do you have any suggestions?

  • FileSelectPopup loading very slowly and displaying too many file types.

    So it's something I noticed recently on two Machines Windows 7 - when you use FileSelectPopup, the first time I call a FileSelectPopup, there's a good 2-3 second delay before the window opens. The following calls are much faster, but still order 700ms-1 s. is it possible for me to reduce this time? Also, I'd be happy if I could make the first call to FileSelectPopup were a little faster. I assumed that since there is a change within, as it is called the first time, charge some kind of module that takes a bit to load - I can preload this module when starting?

    The other problem I meet with FileSelectPopup, is that if I call it with the parameter of type of files, the '*.tdms' value, he will show me the files with the .tdms extension, but also with the .tdms_index extension. It's pretty boring, as each tdms single file produces a file of tdms_index thus, it cuts half of the number of files that I can view in a single panel. Is there a way to assert that the end is EXACTLY .tmds?

    Paul,

    I can tell you information that is not quite correct. So let me correct myself. The issue you described a 247402 really known problem that has been fixed in CVI 2010. You can read about it in the CVI 2009 known issues list. The question that I linked above is actually a separate, but similar, the description and the question could have a little misleading. I'll fix this formulation, but keep in mind that this has been corrected in fact 2010 SP1. I advise to use CVI 2010 SP1 Run - Time Engine to have trouble for two bugs.
