DW hangs up once a day.

I use DW 21.5. Every time I start DW, the program suddenly hangs after about 10-20 minutes. It always happens once. After that I can work with it for the rest of the day without any problems. But after every new start, the program hangs after the specified time: “No response”. Once a day, after the start. Does anyone know why and how this can be fixed?

1. Close Dreamweaver.

2. Restore Preferences:

3. Restart your Computer.

4. Launch Dreamweaver as Administrator.

 

Hope that helps.

The more information you can provide about your situation the better. If you can include your OS and if it happens repeatedly on a certain action/set of actions.

 

With that said, lots of users have been experiencing issues with 21.5 and it is recommended for now to try rolling back to 21.4 to see if the issues persist and use that version for the time being if they do not.
