    Opening audio files is very slow


    Hi all,
    I've been facing this issue for the last year or so. I've been able to solve it once and now it came back.

    I'm running Windows 10 on Ryzen 3700x and Samsung SSD.
    All audio files which i'm trying to open is either not responding or takes at least a minute to open on my default player (used to be AIMP now on Winamp but the issue it still there).
    I've tried sfc /scannow and uninstalling and reinstalling my players or setting default types for app more than once, but didn't see any change.
    It happens with all types of audio files.

    Let me know what I can try and do.

    Thanks,

    - - - Updated - - -

    ignore this thread - it appers like setting AIMP as default resolved it.
    so strange.

    :)

    Simply, HOW? I got the DDS plugin but the POS wont open DDS files still. Can someone give me a step-by-step rundown of how to install the DDS plugin for gimp so I know if I'm missing something?

    Opening audio files is very slow

    Exe file slow to open

    Possible... I had Kaspersky and ZoneAlarm, both, on different machines & times, misbehavin' and had to re-install them to set them right.
    Even after cleaning them out and re-setting them; they would still bog the file access times down and cause Windows Explorer (not ie) to be slow on opening and accessing, until re-installed.

    If he turns off real-time detection it will not make any difference, as he has already been opening the file... he would/should have gotten an alert or warning if there were a problem with the file he is testing with.

    Probably not; but, how much ram?
    What version of Windows?
    Where is you swap file located? What size?
    How full are your drives?
    What processor?
    Have you got the latest firmware for your SSD?
    Are your drivers up to date?
    Is your MB bios current?

    Is the file an installation file, video file, etc? Does it use compression?

    You need to goto User CP and put your system info there and then check the box to show the specs. The info will go a long way in helping some to diagnose your possible problem(s).
