Netgear switch causing RIGHT CLICK context menu slow down
Hello team:
I have WIN7 running on a Mac Mini via Bootcamp.
I recently set up a Synology NAS with a Netgear GS 108T switch.
I've noticed that whenever the switch is plugged in (or powered on) the Right Click / Context menu access slows down dramatically. It literally takes 30 seconds sometimes, for the context menu to open.
This is 100% repeatable, and goes 'back to normal' every time i power down the switch (even with the NAS disconnected.. this does the same).
I've tried a couple of Reg hacks.. thinking maybe (just maybe) this was something to do with the OS scanning the "send to" or "share with" menu items, so i disabled them, but no change.
Amazingly, Netgear tech support is adamant about this having 'nothing to do with their switch' even if it's clear something is happening (in the OS) when the switch is connected.
I am open to upgrading the switch, if i can actually determine that it's the culprit, but obviously i'd like to be sure.
I've read several post on the internet about 'context menu slow-down' but none of the fixes i found seem to have helped.
Any thoughts on this??
I am very new to Networking on PC's, and to be honest, I'm a little bit lost. To me the whole Network control panel and setup, along with "Home Groups", "Public vs Home vs Private" etc etc seems amazingly complicated.
Thanks!!!
