$oShell.Windows() - hangs the script

[mLipok]

I had such snippet:
 

  Quote

    Local $oShell = ObjCreate("Shell.Application")
    ConsoleWrite(@ScriptLineNumber & @crlf)
    Local $oShellWindows_coll = $oShell.Windows() ; collection of all ShellWindows (IE and File Explorer)
    _log(@ScriptLineNumber & @crlf)

Expand  

I found that $oShell.Windows() hangs the script for about 30 minutes......

Anybody know, to which this can be related ?

It's really hard to know what's the issue.  Could you confirm you get the same issue using vbs.

 

StartTime = Timer()
dim objShell
dim objShellWindows
set objShell = CreateObject("shell.application")
set objShellWindows = objShell.Windows
EndTime = Timer()
WScript.Echo "Windows Count: " & objShellWindows.Count & vbCrlf & "Time Elapsed: "  & (EndTime - StartTime)

As so far we found that this was somehow related to AcrobatReader update.
On some computers, this problem appeared and disappeared by itself.
On some others when we uninstall them all starts works fine.

I will back, if I will have any other information related to this issue.
