IsActivated HangsSolved

I am also having trouble with IsActivated. It runs an all systems except my Dell laptop Inspiron 15R Special Edition model 7520 configured with 16Gb memory and 1Tb Samsung SSD. The OS is Windows 10 build 1058.29 although this seems to happen on previous versions. I inserted the following code into TurboActivate.vb: Public Shared Function IsActivated() As Boolean Dim stpwtch As New System.Diagnostics.Stopwatch ' Get a stopwatch instance stpwtch.Start()#If TA_BOTH_DLL Then Select Case If((IntPtr.Size = 8), Native64.IsActivated(VersionGUID), Native.IsActivated(VersionGUID))#Else Select Case Native.IsActivated(VersionGUID)#End If Case TA_E_GUID Throw New GUIDMismatchException Case TA_E_PDETS Throw New ProductDetailsException Case TA_E_COM Throw New COMException Case TA_E_IN_VM Throw New VirtualMachineException() Case TA_OK ' is activated If stpwtch.ElapsedMilliseconds > 5000 Then MsgBox("IsActivated took " & FormatNumber(stpwtch.ElapsedMilliseconds / 1000, 0) & " seconds to return.", MsgBoxStyle.Critical) End If Return True End Select Return False End FunctionThe following is typical of the results: IsActivated took 189 seconds to return.I have verified that Windows Management Instrumentation is running as the list below shows there are multiple dependencies on its accessibility.
