Slow and Unresponsive After 2.0.1 Update

[MitchRepairs]

Version and Environment

• GSmartControl version: 2.0.1
• OS: Windows 10 / 11

Describe the Bug GSmartControl after the latest update often freezes or takes a long time to load.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Open the program on windows (maybe one with an NVMe drive)

Additional Context The update now supporting NVMe drives is fantastic and works well I just find we have to try reopening the program multiple times on various different systems that come into our repair shop. Perhaps its something to do with reading the NVMe SMART data

Hi,

Thanks for the report.

A few questions:

• Is the freeze consistent on the same system? (that is, if you quit and/or restart and re-run GSmartControl, does it behave the same way?)
• If, after a long loading time, you perform a refresh (ctrl-R), does it take a long time again?
• Can you try running the program with --no-scan and see if it helps? The easiest way to do it is to create a shortcut to gsmartcontrol.exe, open its Properties, and add --no-scan to "Target". This will disable drive scanning on startup.

Thanks you
