Open Task Manager and click on the Processes tab.

Then try to start VCDS. Does VCDS appear in the process list?

Unfortunately I can confirm this happens sometimes me too, it started maybe 3years ago. Since then I changed my just for diagnostics used notebook several times, did a dozen reinstalls of various OS through different editions of 7 to current 10, did another dozen upgrades of VCDS, changed cable from HexCan to HexNet... And it's still happening:
From time to time, clicking VCDS icon on the desktop does nothing noticeable - just the Task Manager shows the VCDS process eating 50-60% CPU. If you wait 2-3 minutes the app windows appears. But who has time to wait these days :cool: So I kill the VCDS process, then launch VCDS again and the main VCDS windows appears in a fraction of second. I always wonder what's the magic behind and what are the tasks VCDS does between starting the app and main windows appearing on the screen.

Igor, that's got to be the check for VCDS updates. Is it possible Windows sees you're connected to a network, but its connection to the internet is very slow/unreliable? The Windows network timeout API for those cases is very poorly implemented and sometimes our workaround for that deficiency isn't enough. It's on list to look at, but as you've observed it's "from time to time" so not easy to reproduce.

Aah, that explains a couple of things to me, Eric. I've noticed this behaviour extremely rarely before, so rare I put it down to atmospherics or an 'R' in the month. But one time specifically was when I had already connected to my HN as an AP; and the first VCDS session didn't want to start. It must have been trying to contact the mothership - but obviously couldn't through the HN.

So many versions ago and so rare I can't recount exactly when. :)

That was why I asked ikara to see what's in Task Manager. If VCDS is stuck trying to check for updates, it should be visible in Task Manager. Since it's not for him, I don't think that's what's going on in his case.

We recently had some other reports from Europe where VCDS would not start.

In those cases, it the problem was a nannyware program called "BitDefender".

Any chance this is installed on your computer?
