LV Pauses and VI Windows Lose Focus in Win 7

[crossrulz]

I see this happen every morning.  The first time I right-click on a wire after starting LabVIEW (2011 SP1), the window freezes for 15  seconds.  Then another VI gets focus, but the right-click menu also comes up.  And the right-click menu does the right operation on the wire I originally clicked on.  But who knows what crap IT put on it that makes it slow in the first place.

Would be nice if it only happened once, in the morning..  You force it to happen, then get on with your day.. 😉

Unfortunately, it is not the case. 

There is enough delay that I can come over to the forum, post an answer and then go back.

The good side of this is that I am able to visit the forum..  Maybe that could be called a feature.

The annoying part is that the blank window (while saving or doing something) goes go in front of the web browser.

One project in particular is giving me grief.  I have had these issues on two office computers that have antivirus, Office, and stuff.  They have had the delays.

I have loaded the code onto the computer that will ship with the equipment, and it is not experiencing any of the delays.  It is not as capable as my personal desk machine, but it is also not loaded up with antivirus or much else.  I will be receiving a duplicate of this computer from our customer, except it will be pre-loaded with antivirus and such.

I'll post an update when I receive the computer and have had a chance to work with the computer pre-loaded with software.

I never thought the anti virus would have had such an effect... But then again..  I would not be surprised.

On newly setup computer that will be going to our customer, I have had NO delays while working with VI's.  I did minimal options changes (FP terminals as Icons, Connector pane required, etc) to get the environment set up.

While searching for some issues with minimized windows not coming to focus, I found the following known issue for LabVIEW 2012:  Windows 7 often shows "(Not Responding)" and will bring other windows to the front during expensive ....

There must be a configuration setting that we use that is causing these "expensive" operations.

Well, now I know what my problem is.....got to get that DLL out of the UI thread somehow. I changed it to "Use any thread" but it didn't seem to help.
