Default Disk management

Windows management console starts and all the functions work perfectly
except disk management. After about a 30-second wait it shows as
unresponsive and I need a 3-finger reset to stop it. There are no disk
faults as far as I can ascertain. Any ideas please?

I can't find any error messages at the relevant time. The only events
recorded then a
Windows security audit - logon and special logon
System ; virtual disk service started

Even though you said you were not aware of any disk problems, I'd run
CHKDSK /f on all of your drives.

The drive you are booted to will require a reboot

This article seems to suggest the "diskpart" command
line program, should suffer similar symptoms. You can
run DiskPart from an Administrator Command Prompt window
and see what kind of error it throws.

There are a few suggestions here, on the VDS service, and
in one case, a user claims an environment variable was
not being parsed by the system properly. Since I'm not
limiting myself to Windows 8 when selecting these threads,
some of the suggestions might need to be "translated".

http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/w...f-818efcca2049

This thread suggests non-harddrive devices can hold
up the service (prevent VDS from finishing its initial
scan for devices).

Some Partition Management tools seem to be insistent that
they have exclusive access, but I don't know if I've
seen the Disk Management plugin do that. I think it
plays nice, if a Partition Manager program is already
running at the time.

Thanks for the feedback. I thought I'd try the lazy way out and system
restore to before the last load of updates. Solved!! I guess I'll
ignore 'optional' updates from now on.

I would check the Virtual Disk Service and make sure it is not disabled and that it is running.
