    How to fix: Server Busy. This action cannot be completed because the other program is busy.


    I just rebuilt my PC and did a clean install of Windows 10. I have installed ALL updates and have run virus scans as well as CCleaner.

    I've also rebooted my computer several times and have run the following:


    DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth

    DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

    DISM.exe /online /cleanup-image /startcomponentcleanup



    sfc /scannow


    The computer is very sluggish when trying to launch any application or open any folder and each time I launch Lightroom 6.14 I get the following:


    How to fix: Server Busy. This action cannot be completed because the other program is busy. ec307f4d-e4ea-4a3d-b9ed-492fd33344fd?upload=true.png


    When I click Switch To... it opens the Windows Menu. Nothing else. After a few minutes the Server Busy message goes away and Lightroom launches.

    • What Server is busy?
    • What is the Switch To button switching to?
    • How do I make this stop?

    Thanks

    :)

    I have a Suface Book I get this message: Server Busy This action cannot be completed because the other program is busy. Choose "Switch To" to activate the busy program and correct the problem.

    I also bought my Surface Book with Windows 10 in July 2017.

    I have the same exact issue it started occurring after Microsoft installed the drivers for the Surface Dock I purchased at a Microsoft Store.

    By reading various blogs this issue comes up from loading different software also. It's very common but there does not appear to be a fix.

    What is the fix?

    Server Busy

    This action cannot be completed because the other program is busy. Choose "Switch To" to activate the busy program and correct the problem.

    Server Busy Message in Windows 10

    "This action cannot be completed because the other program is busy. Choose 'Switch To' to activate the busy program and correct the problem."

    The button choices are "Switch To" and "Retry" Neither offer any assistance as to what is actually the problem.

    The pop-up box is headed "Server Busy"

    How to fix: Server Busy. This action cannot be completed because the other program is busy.

    I have a Suface Book I get this message: Server Busy This action cannot be completed because the other program is busy. Choose "Switch To" to activate the busy program and correct the problem.

    I purchased a New Surface Book in July 2017 with Windows 10.

    Every time I first start the Laptop I always get this message in a dialog window:

    Server Busy

    This action cannot be completed because the other program is busy. Choose "Switch To" to activate the busy program and correct the problem.

    I have to choose the "Switch To" option on the dialog box, it opens the Windows Start menu (located in the lower left corner) and does nothing.

    How do I stop the message from occurring?

    It appears a lot of people have received this message over the years with no solution!!

    Please help!
