Hello to all,

This issue has been plaguing me for maybe a year now, I thought it was the PC I was using it on as it's a few years old and not the best specs. However, I've freshly installed Nexus Dock on a new v-high end spec system with a fresh install of Windows 10 and I'm getting the same issue.

Almost every time I mouse over the dock it........ freezes for roughly 2-3 seconds. It seems like it's an idle thing as it doesn't do it if I've used the dock in the last few minutes.
If it's been a while then the dock activates but freezes completely for a few seconds.

Can anyone assist me with possible causes and/or fixes, any way to force the dock not to idle, or maybe some settings that are known to cause lag... etc?

If there's any details of specs that would help narrow it down, please let me know and I'll happily post them.

Thank you.

I would look at the shortcuts you have placed on the dock. Do any of them point to items on a network drive or even a hard drive set to spin down after a period of no activity?

You can also make a backup of your settings first (Preferences -> Advanced tab -> Backup) then reset to factory default (Preferences -> Advanced tab -> Troubleshooting Options -> Reset Everything) and run like that for a while to see if the problem goes away.

If it does, it is something content or setting related. If not, we would have to look further... either way you can then restore your previous settings via Preferences -> Advanced tab -> Restore

Hi @winstep, thank you for the assistance.

The system is full NVME SSDs, and not really any shortcuts like described, just a "My Computer" link.

Great idea, thank you. I'll back it up and wipe it to see if it persists.

I'll update if I figure out the cause.

Thanks, I am curious as well...

Could also be something (force) paging out the Winstep application to disk - but then again, with SSDs it should be basically unnoticeable.
