The function "Remove the device safely" is very slow

When I click the icon 'Remove hardware safely' in the notification area, it takes a long time to display the list of devices.

It is a new installation of Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit on a new ThinkPad.

Suggestions and advice are welcome.

It seems that the wait is simply the same. I think that when you click on the safely remove icon, it triggers the same process as the opening of the devices & Printers. In addition, I noticed that the results of the analysis of material seem to be cached for a while if you open devices & Printers first.

Better prognosis:

The feature is slow because it is by making a list of all the things attached to the laptop from scratch (almost) every time that we click on the icon.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones updated using the BlackBerry Desktop Manager - VERY slow!

    Hello

    Brand-new Blackberry.

    Updated the OS on my 8530 using the Desktop Manager software version 5.0.1 pc and the usb to the phone connector. I started at 11:00 this morning. It's now almost 15:00.

    It always shows 346 528 modules in the device software download part of the process. At this point, it's a failure... But he said not to disconnect your device... or other.  What now? Very disappointing.

    --

    Bill

    'Now for the future... ". I do NOT recommend the use of desktop upgrade of the Unit Manager, ever. It is simply too buggy and too many things can go wrong happen with which you have no control. »

    I tried the update site as you said but made the mistake of direct download instead of dl to pc and then to the phone as you said. Then... Well, I found the best way yet: I'll take it to the Verizon store and ask them to do every time. I'm a pretty grumpy guy, being a programmer and all except... I just haven't the patience or willingness to spend that kind of time with a phone. I mean - it's a phone. Really?

  • After 2015, Muse of the update is now very slow

    After you apply the recent update of the 2015 of Muse, everything has become very slow.

    I worked on the same websites to Muse over 12 months now, and after this update Muse becomes almost unusable.

    I use 2 end 2011 Mac Book Pro:

    1: Mac Os Yosemite 10.10.2,"limited 500 GB SD with 300 + GB of free space, 8 GB of RAM

    2: Mac Os Yosemite 10.10.2,"limited 500 GB SATA with 300 + GB of free space, 4 GB of RAM (backup device)

    A few examples:

    • Use of loading: Pre 2015 update, about 1 minute. Post 2015 update, 2-5 Minutes.
    • A website I'm working on that would take about 1 minute for Site Preview in the browser. The same site, after the update of 2015 takes now up to 7 minutes of preview in the browser. This applies to all sites, the largest site, the longer the delay.
    • Adding an image would take a few seconds to implement now, it may be up to 30 seconds or more.
    • Highlighting a chart area or text box results in similar delays.
    • Loading a page in the chart window will take at least 30 seconds or more.
    • Preview a site in Google Chrome - page loading lasts up to 3 minutes.
    • Preview a site in Safari - loading pages lasts up to 3 minutes each, the scrolling is fragile.

    Basically, what I could do in 1-2 hours before the update can take throughout the day now, if I can perform a task at all.

    Suggestions (with the exception of the most recent purchase Mac ) to speed up the update of Muse 2015?

    Scientific tests not here, but I think that the creative cloud App can have some influence here.

    I've been playing with the firewall settings after discovering the CC tried to synchronize files - which would take approximately 47 hours! Hmmm.

    After pausing synchronization CC disable firewall from Apple, then juggle some more with it and turning back on, I noticed a speed immediately gain Muse and the problems that I said that I had. Not to say that it is suddenly fantastic once again, but I'm now at a point where the Muse is still usable.

    Also, I had the bad evil with flow here in Indonesia. No more.
