After a user signs in to GP, it appears the application is ready, but it is really not. If the user changes to a module page, he or she will see many items on the page that are not applicable and not really available. If the user tries to switch companies, a message will be displayed that it cannot be done because background processes are running. If Process Monitor is opened, a stall will be seen with "Updating Menus (1)" as the first item. To reduce user confusion, Winthrop Development Consults devised a way to use GP Power Tools to block the user from changing pages until the session is fully initialized (https://community.dynamics.com/gp/b/winthropdevelopmentconsultantsblog/posts/gppt-preventing-users-from-using-gp-until-login-has-completed). But a better solution would be to remove the ineffciencies that causes "Updating Menus (1)" to take 10+ seconds in the first place.
