    Disk Cleanup seems to float to the background when scanning then launches the app when it's ready to execute.

    OK, that's fine and dandy, but it would be nice to get some sort of confirmation that something is happening. How many are going to check task manager for something that should routinely execute right away?

    Anyway hopefully Microsoft gets this sorted. If it's going to float to the background while scanning that's fine, just tell me something, and two minutes is way too long.

    Anyway now I know.

    Thanks.

    I hear ya!
    They might have made it scan in the background because of touch and swipe interference issues or something, not sure.
    Minimize to the system tray would maybe be a better idea.

    OK, got a sleep problem with Win 10 version 9879 (Everything worked fine until this particular update). Ay-yi-yi. It sleeps and wakes OK, but my hard drives don't like it ( my boot SSD is fine). I would get directories to hang up and either refuse to show the files or show the files after a long time. Disk management would not work and just sit there hung. I have to restart to reset the drives. The restart takes FOREVER to do.

    To test, sleep the computer, wake it up, and then restart. If the restart takes much longer than usual, you have the bug.

    I tried different drives, different SATA ports, BIOS update, none of these helped. So far, the one thing that has made a difference in access to the drives is to turn indexing of the drives back on. Does not help with the slow restart though.

    Anyone else seen this? or do I once again have the computer from hell that is still having issues with sleep.

    Yeah, that would be cool; however I still think this is a bug because I can't see why it needs to take at least two minutes to launch. That's a bit too long.

    @ John, can't speak on sleep problems cause I'm running through VMWare.

    It's not much slower than in Win8, it's just that it doesn't show any signs of life for long time while it sits there and "thinks" (actually collecting data ). That I consider a bug.

    To be clear, I'm talking about startup, not cleanup. On Window 10 it takes about 2 minutes to start, on Win 8/8.1 it's nearly instantaneous. That's the issue.

    Yes, cleanup is about the same on 8 & 10, on startup Win 8 blows 10 away.

    I've seen this after running a machine for approx 2 days so I would recommend rebooting every so often or restarting the Explorer process if you're unlucky and run into this issue with build 9879.
    The Technet thread has expanded with further information, but here's the bottom line: the GDI leak ties directly to taskbar icons that use progress bars, like pretty much all browsers and many media players. Explorer.exe does NOT like them. The longer the progress bar sticks around (like with a lengthy download or video), the faster your GDI will climb. I've disabled that feature in my media player (VLC doesn't support it in the first place, so it's another choice) so really only take the hit when doing downloads, and that's a small enough GDI increase to make this less of an issue than it was when we had no idea what was causing it.

    Hi there.

    Running a Video server (Mezzmo) for a long time (> 1 day / 24 hrs) causes a problem when trying to shutdown the computer. The mezzmo server is fine and ends / exits normally but then when shutting down the PC you get a message "Your PC ran into a problem and needs to re-start". Pc shuts down OK -- and re-starts next time without any problems so I'm just ignoring the message.

    The message only seems to happen if the PC (It's a laptop) is left running for > 1 day. No hardware problems on laptop such as overheating etc.

    Cheers

    Good Morning! :)

    I ran 'Reset Notification Icon Cache' batch file and got this crazy 'Continuum' Start Menu and can't remember how to get rid of it!
