Description

I'm using Windows 10 Enterprise Edition, 64-bit with Intel Core i7-6920HQ, 32 GB of RAM, both OpenStudio 2.5.0 and 2.6.0 and when I run a simulation and click the "Open DView for Detailed Reports" button it takes a really long time to load DView (for example, right now I've been waiting about 21 minutes and still don't see the DView window). The eplusout.sql file is 47.6 MB.

Note that if I try to delete eplusout.sql I get a File In Use message that says that the file is open in DView.exe. However, I can't see the DView window.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue through the “Open DView for Detailed Reports” button with the mentioned 47.6 MB eplusout.sql file on Windows 10. Check how DView.exe handles the open SQL file and determine why the window does not appear promptly. Done means DView opens in a reasonable time and eplusout.sql is no longer unexpectedly held open.
