Hi,

A few programs on my pc are starting delayed and I'm trying to figure out why. Affected are only lightweit ones like TotalCommander or Notepad++ and strangely the delay is always exactly 20sec so I'm suspecting some kind of network problem but I'm stuck with ProcMon on how to figure out the root of the problem.

As you can see in this snippet there's the mentioned 20sec gap between "CloseFile" and "Thread Create"

Clik here to view. 09:39:58,0254322    notepad++.exe    6152    Load Image    C:\Windows\SysWOW64\cryptdll.dll    SUCCESS    Image Base: 0x74890000, Image Size: 0x11000 09:39:58,0254673    notepad++.exe    6152    CloseFile    C:\Windows\SysWOW64\cryptdll.dll    SUCCESS     09:39:58,0256682    notepad++.exe    6152    Thread Create        SUCCESS    Thread ID: 10028 09:40:18,0355121    notepad++.exe    6152    RegQueryKey    HKLM    SUCCESS    Query: HandleTags, HandleTags: 0x0 09:40:18,0355721    notepad++.exe    6152    RegOpenKey    HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Winsock\Parameters    REPARSE    Desired Access: Read 09:40:18,0356187    notepad++.exe    6152    RegOpenKey    HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Winsock\Parameters    SUCCESS    Desired Access: Read 09:40:18,0356605    notepad++.exe    6152    RegSetInfoKey    HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\services\Winsock\Parameters    SUCCESS    KeySetInformationClass: KeySetHandleTagsInformation, Length: 0

I'm hoping somebody can point me in the right direction on what to do next as I don't really know what to look for in this gap.


Thanks
Simon
