  Windows 7: Flash drive recognition delay
  Flash drive recognition delay
  Every time I plug my flash drive in to my windows 7 x64 PC there's a delay of about a minute before it gets recognized by the operating system (where it seems to be doing nothing - the light on the drive is just on not flashing). The drive's fine as it gets instantly recognized on Linux and OSX.
  This always coincides with two errors in event viewer: both event ID 7011, and the same error:
  Except one of the errors is with the ShellHWDetection service and the other is the LanmanServer service.
  Any ideas why this is happening? It didn't happen before with my old flash drive. The new one's a Corsair 8GB voyager drive is that helps.
  Have you tried using it in a different USB Port? Or on someone else's PC?
  I've tried using different USB ports, and (as I said although could have been more clear) have used it on different computers using different operating systems (although no other computers using windows 7).
  edit: just tested on a windows 7 laptop and it loads instantly.
  1. Click the Start button, type regedit, and hit Enter.
  4. Click Decimal, enter 1000, and then click OK
  Try the flash drive again
  Great, thanks that did the job
  Although it's strange, there must have been something causing that service do whatever it did that timed out
  problem solved anyway
  Glad I could help!! Rep is appreciated :)
