Traktor Pro 2 takes hours to open?

Yes I have they sent me their NI support tool. I ran the software and sent it back to them yesterday evening. I haven't heard anything back yet.

You won't hear from NI Support over the weekend. They don't work at the weekend AFAIK.

I just re-installed Windows & started over again. It works now but all my queue points, play lists & ratings. I wonder if there may have been an old history file floating around. I even made a video in hopes someone will figure it out.

The folder C:\Users\<username>\Documents\Native Instruments\Traktor 2.x.x\ contains all essential information. But you need to have a good backup of your files. By restoring this folder and putting the audio files in the same folders as before, all should work fine after reinstalling Windows and Traktor Pro.

Ok so after the re-install of my OS Traktor worked fine. I had no issues for almost a month. Then when I downloaded the newer version of Traktor today a window popped up and asked me if I wanted use my files from my previous version. I clicked on yes, now it's doing the same thing. It's taking forever to pull up. I wonder if there is a file corrupt, possible a remix deck?

I'm a Windows 7 user and am not terrible familiar with Windows 8, but it could be an indexing issue. Take a look in Resource Monitor (in the run command line type perfmon.exe /res )to see if its hogging your CPU. I had a similar issue a few weeks ago after I ripped about 30GB of vinyl...Traktor took FOREVER to open. I disabled indexing for my Music Library folder, and everything has been peachy since.

Two services to look for in the Resource Monitor CPU tab are searchfilterhost.exe and searchprotocolhost.exe. The two collectively were eating up over 65% of my CPU. If this ends up being the problem, launch the Indexing Options applet (Windows search "indexing"), select the modify button, and then exclude your Traktor collection folder.

Hopefully you have this sorted by now, but if not you may want to see if Windows Indexing is hogging your CPU. If you have just recently dumped your music back into a clean Windows install, Windows may be trying to index your music folder. I had a similar issue to what you described a few weeks ago after ripping roughly 30GB of vinyl.

Open Resource Monitor (in Windows 8, run perfmon.exe /res) and see if searchfilterhost.exe and/or searchprotocolhost.exe are running. If they are, go into Indexing Options and disable indexing for your Music Library (or Traktor collection folder or whatever). Best of luck!

Thank you everyone, this whole issue may have been due to a corrupted file. I found a m4a file "Somebody That I used to Know" crashed out Traktor when I imported my music files. Strangely from a fresh install it didn't effect the initial installation. But when I updated and choose to keep previous settings and music library that's when it got screwy?

I'm going to do this too, thank you DJ Tech Tool community you rock!
