On many Windows 8 & 8.1 systems in our environment the Lync client will take anywhere from 2-10 seconds to pop up when clicked on in the taskbar. The application is running, logged in, and active. This is very frustrating to our userbase as they will click on it multiple times and have it then act like a jackrabbit when it finally processes the requested actions.
The computers we have are brand new systems. Happens on freshly installed & updated versions of Lync 2013. Seems to be after the Lync client hasn't been clicked on, or utilized in a while. Other applications pop up instantly (zero delay) and without any problems, it only affects Lync. I tried disabling UI animations such as fade, slide etc, which did nothing to help the issue.
This has me a bit stumped, and I'm wondering if this is a known issue or not? Hopefully there is a solution?
