[Why does it take so long to lad one room maps?]

I belive it's the autosave that slows things down. I  think the added data of the DLCs as time goes on realy bogs the saves down.  Is there a way to disable the autosave?  I can't seem to find it in the options, or am I missing something? 

[Items can't be equipped from inventory and disappear]

Downloaded new full (2.02) poe and white march from gog. Did a fresh install, when I try to equip an item from the inventory the highlighted character blinks and switches to the other character and the item disappears. If I put the items in the stash and equip them from the stash, it works.

I tried to uninstall the game and I get an error screen and it won't uninstall now,    Runtime error (at 16:321)  SWbem Locator: The specified service does not exist as an installed service
