Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:

  • You have a Windows Server 2008 Service Pack 2 (SP2)-based computer that has multiple processors.

  • CPU usage on one or more processors is high.

  • An application that runs at low priority calls the UuidCreate function.

In this scenario, the UuidCreate API takes a long time to process the call. Eventually, the process times out.

Cause

This issue occurs because of high CPU usage. When the UuidCreate function calls some other functions, the UuidCreate function takes a long time to return the UuidCreate API .
