Hello!

I have a problem with opening Office 2013 open/save dialog box on Windows 8.1. When I open this dialog in Word or Excel, the application freezes for 30-90 seconds. I think that the problem are currently unavailable network drives, but I need it for work in branch offices.

And the question is, how can I disable check availability of network drives or reduce time of lookup.

Thank you.

Hi,

I've been noticing the same problem for weeks in different programs, mostly when downloading with Chrome though. Often, not always, the open/save dialog takes around 30-60s to actually show folders. I have 2 mapped network drives, of which I can usually only connect to one at a time (different networks). So usually one cannot be reached by the system and I think that creates the problem.

Is there any work around? Maybe a timeout can be reduced for the case of an unaccessable network drive?

Any suggestions welcome. Thanks.
