Question
Adobe Xd experience on Windows
Dear Community
I begann to use Adobe Xd just recently within the last 3-4 weeks. I am collaborating with an external UI/UX specialist (he works on a Mac). Maybe someone has an idea what I can do to improve my experience/performance with Adobe Xd on Windows (except switching on a Mac ;-).
Here are our work settings:
- Adobe Xd files saved in the Adobe cloud to collaborate the work, therefore has to be in Adobe cloud.
- Our mockups are published on xd.adobe.com for reviews.
- Mac User has no issues.
- Windows user has issues (see bellow)
Windows user issues
- Very bad performance of Adobe Xd (On an actual AMD Processor and a RTX 3090 graphicscard with 64 GB Ram - nice machine)
- Editing of labels initially after Adobe Xd starts works fine, after a while the editing gets awkward. I can't just click in a blank Area or Esc to "leave" the field, I have to click on another element or Resize the whole application window. Sometimes even after a Restart this problem reappears just after 5-10 Min. My guessing is, that this has to do with autosaving the content. Any ideas?
- When that starts to happen, i also can't see the cursor in Textfields anymore.
- And also marking texts doesn't show them highlighted, but i can delete them.
- When I compare (by Screensharing with my collaborator) his edits in Adobe Xd seem to work much faster. For example insert a label, edit it, hit Esc. That can take up to 10 or more seconds for me on a windows (2-3 seconds on mac), which feels so slow. My (not yet approved) guess is, that this behavior increases by the runtime of the application.
- Happened once: Ctrl + Z didn't work anymore and as I found out after that, the files changes weren't saved to the cloud anymore. Thankfully i remarked it, made a copy. Restarted Adobe Xd and deleted the old file (Happily the links didn't change).

Happy to hear from windows users if the experience the same issues and i just have to deal with them or if there are certain solutions. I had a quick look into the Community posts, but didn't find a suitable fix/solution. If I missed a post pls provide me the link.
Thank you. 😃
