Well, I think this problem is related to search of VComponents folder...

Something similar exists in Vstudio bug report, that double click on db file
cause problems...

I think in near time we will try investigate this issue.

Something is loaded from USB into RAM ...
Second time is not ...

But what is loaded then? App itself or db files ?
Question for searching.

But do you know which exactly command "hangs"?
