devices and Printers window loads real slow in windows 8.1

On my system the Devices and Printers are loading instantly but if I install the Realtek High Definition Audio Driver it takes so long. So when do they fix the driver?

I tried disabling that driver and it made no difference at all.   It's just like solutions to the sleep problems and other Microsoft idiosyncrasies.   Certain solutions may work for you if the moon and stars are in perfect alignment.  It's very frustrating and explains why people are trending to chrome and just using their phone and tablet instead of a PC.

There is a fix which worked for somebody here..

Thanks Dillon_642, that worked a treat for me!

Until next reboot anyway, (using 'sleep' though is fine!) but at least I know the workround now.

It's saving me a lot of time as devices and printers is something I have to regulaly/very often use at work.

Thankyou.

"I hasten to add that I am not a professional!" maybe not, but having found out the reason for Microsoft, maybe the 'professionals' can work on a cure.....

Hello, on my system I've installed the latest Realtek High Definiton Audio Driver for the MSI Z97 Gaming 5. I took this one Driver by Station-Drivers!

The bug is still shown, so the Devices & Printers take 10 Seconds to open. Without the Realtek High Defintion Driver the Devices & Printers open instantly!

Why doesn't the fix this??
