Devices and Printers takes forever to pop up
Windows 7-Pro 64bit PC with all patches applied
when we click on Devices & Printers…it takes about 3-4 mins for it to load up the screen
How can I fix this?

Run Services >> find print spooler >> and stop it, then retest to check if that is the cause of problem.
If it is taking that long it means there is a printer that is either offline or having issues. You might want to see if there is a printer that is grayed out and remove it.
if that didn't fix the issue, then do the same and stop Bluetooth service and retest.
Also set them to Automatic, and retest.
