Delay launching programs with keyboard shortcuts
Hi Guys,
Long time lurker but just registered ! So please bare with me.
I just got a NEW PC so I installed Windows 10 Home on it.
Now I am running into an issue that when starting a program via the Shortcut Key (Added via Right Click on Shortcut, and select Properties and then fill in the Shortcut Key example CTRL+ALT+W) there is a delay of around 2-3 seconds before the program starts. This didn't occur on my old Windows 10 PC.
I already have found a couple of pages on the net that it has something to do with Prefetch, but I don't wanna disable that for now (only as a last resort )
(Example of one of those pages, but there are more
3-second delay when launching programs with keyboard shortcuts. : Windows10
What I have found out that when I manually kill Store and Settings (which seem to spawn sometimes even when all Background App Settings are DISABLED (Turn On or Off Background Apps in Windows 10 | Windows 10 Tutorials) that the DELAY is gone.
Here just a short excerpt from a log file I am keeping about Store and Settings and I kill them via Taskkill /F
As you can see store and settings are starting approx every hour.24/07/2018 12:31:16,80 Store is killed
24/07/2018 12:31:16,93 Settings is killed
24/07/2018 13:38:16,83 Store is killed
24/07/2018 13:38:16,97 Settings is killed
Yes, Store automatic updates are disabled and NO I am not starting them manually
Any idea guys what is going on !
Thx for any insights and advice, really appreciated.
Edit: And another non related question, is it possible to automatically "kill" Suspended processes ?
