Doesn't matter whether I'm at work (DELL) or at home (HP) on a different network. Happens ALL THE TIME.

    Which version of DW?

    Which operating system?

     

    Does the file contain valid code?

    https://validator.w3.org/

     

    Have you tried Restoring Preferences?

    Hi, I a powerfull computer runing Windows 11 Pro lates verion and updated. I have noticed that  that after a cold start from Creative Cloude Appen  ,and, or if you make a pouse for some houers, it will not respond, but after a restart DW and saved the work from recover it will work for houers, and you can also work with orther programs like Photsop and Illyustrator with out DW stop respond. It looks ther is some settings how will reset then you restart DW from lookdown.

    When all else fails, revert from version 21.5 to the more stable version 21.4. 

    Creative Cloud Desktop App.
