I have my suspicions that asuspheobusDevProps.dll is linked to this issue as it appears directly after the stack from Start8 and I would not expect it to in this scenario.

It would appear Start8 is causing ADVAPI32.dll to load into process on dll load which may be the issue here as I think somehow this is causing a timing related loading deadlock.

I have made changes so future updates are not causing this to load, but given the lack of other reports I suspect that asus dll is being pulled in somehow by the MS delay loading code and that's then triggering the deadlock.

EDIT : I would also be curious to know if disabling ObjectDock also resolves this issue as I notice the second thread appears to be waiting on something and Dock64.dll is in there waiting for something.

If I kill Start8 or Xonar Phoebus, then the problem is resolve, stopping ObjectDock does nothing.
