title: kubernetes kubectl stalls for 2 Minutes
body: <p>I am running kubectl on:
  <code>Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.14393]</code></p>
  
  <p>Pointing to Kubernetes cluster deployed in Azure.</p>
  
  <p>A <code>kubectl version</code> command with verbose logging and preceded with time echo shows a delay of ~ 2 Min before showing any activity on the API calls.</p>
  
  <p>Note the first log line that show 2 Min after invoking the command.</p>
  
  <pre><code>C:\tmp&gt;echo **19:12:50**.23
  19:12:50.23
  
  C:\tmp&gt;kubectl version --kubeconfig=C:/Users/jbafd/.kube/config-hgfds-acs-containerservice-1 -v=20

  <p>Other kubectl commands (get nodes etc.) exhibit the same delay.
  Flushing dns cache didn't resolve the issue but it looks like the API requests are responsive. Also running the command as admin didn't help.
  What other operation kubectl is attempting before loading the config?</p>
