I'm finding DW is going non-responsive and I have to kill the task in Task Manager pretty much daily. This is an enterprise wide installation so reverting to 21.4 is not a trivial exercise. It'd be good to know someone is looking at fixing this.

There's no sign anyone from Adobe monitors this so I suggest reaching out to their support. You'll see Nancy's replies but she's just a nice person trying to help. She doesn't work for Adobe support.

Adobe is done with Dreamweaver so, as painful as it might be, going to back to 21.4 for your users might be the only viable option. I'm building all of my new projects using VS Code now. If you work in code view, it has been a breath of fresh air.

A very wise decision, one that I have been advocating for the last 10 years. Dreameweaver is dead were it not for the life support machine called Adobe. I do not understand why any serious 'enterprise' would still be using it.

Wappler is the DMXzone-made Dreamweaver replacement and includes the best of their powerful extensions, as well as much more!

I'm experiencing the same issues as everyone else, reverted back to 21.4 and it seems to have stabilised for now.

I experience the same problem. I have Windows 11 Pro 24H2. DW version 21.5. Frequently, DW crashes and I have to re-start the app. It happens most days. Very annoying. I don't remember having problems before I updated to Win 11 from Win 10.

I too have constant freezes after a while (some seconds) when I use Dreamweaver. After terminating Dreamweaver through Task Manager and then running it again will make the app stable. Weird. Switching to 21.4 solves the issue.

Hi @detor,

Thanks for writing to us. Can you please share the workflow where you are observing the crash on your Windows machine. We can accordingly troubleshoot and investigate the issue further.

Have a pleasant day!

Same issue here. Fresh install on new PC, only imported Site Definitions. Second time use and starts crashing again (same behaviour as last month still on older PC). Please fix this ASAP. Thanks!

Working in Code mode.

Can you share anymore details from your instance? OS/version? Did you try any of the steps already mentioned in the thread and where they unsuccessful?

Same. Dreamweaver crashes once per session. I can recover the file no problem (thus far) but any kind of shenanigans (rapid text edits, cuting and pasting repeatedly, spellcheck) results in a terminal hang.

@whcressall,

Are you editing in Live or Design? Try toggling to Design with Ctrl + Shift + F11.

Live view requires more resources to refresh the screen.
Design is more efficient for routine coding & editing.
Use Ctrl + S often to save work to disk & free up RAM.
Run validation checks to ensure you're working with error-free code.
Window ⇒ Results ⇒ Validation... check document.

This answer can not be applied because DW 21.5 won't stay open for more than 30 seconds before hanging up. There's not even time to toggle the view (and I was already using Design anyway). Thanks for the attempt to help, but this version is badly broken and Adobe needs to withdraw it until it is fixed. What a waste of time they have caused with it!

Same is happening for me, with crashes, and all templates are gone from the Assets, though they are there in the Files window.

1) Restart Computer and run Dreamweaver as Administrator.

2) Restore Preferences

3) Revert to the previous version (21.4).

Thank you for trying to help. I was able to uninstall and then reinstall version 21.3, but both the blank Assets window and the crashes persist. I also reset Preferences, with no good effect. If you should have any other suggestions, do please let me know. I've been using Dreamweaver since Macromedia days, ca.1998, and have grown entirely used to it, but I guess I'm going to have to look elsewhere now. Best regards.
