Just wanted to thank AndreTen for his tip about SETTINGS > DEVICES being instant. Wasn't aware of that option and yes, it's instant for me too. Thanks!
FWIW, this is on a Dell XPS-8900, i7, 16GB ram that I recently purchased. It was taking about a minute+ for "Devices & Printers" to display. I do have a SSD for my C partition with all data on a D drive. With tips from the web I changed Bluetooth in services.msc from manual to auto and D&P displays in 8 seconds now. Still too long for me when I was used to D&P displaying in a couple of seconds on my previous Win7, i5, 8GB ram, home-built PC (that died).
I'm wondering, do folks who are having 8 seconds or longer D&P display, all have Dell PCs? And folks who have D&P display in 3-4 seconds have non Dell PCs? I assume all are running Win10 since this in the tenforums.
