HI,

I just installed on windows PC, running Windows 10 home,  Dreamweaver version 21.1 but I have a problem: the app is very very slow and it freezes.

I can't write anything because any command blocks the app.
Is impossiblr to work.
The last version 21.0 had the same problem.

Can someone help me?
Thanks
Giuly

    As Nayan said, Restoring Preferences fixes most problems in DW.

    Failing that, use the Adobe Cleaner Tool below to remove old software and reinstall DW.

    Hope that helps.

    Hi Nancy, I haven't old software.
    unfortunatelly, I have only the version 20.0 and 20.1 of Dreamweaver.

    I never had any problems with the old versions, it all started with the 20.1 and and now it doesn't work well even the 20.0

    Thank you Nayan but the problem has not been solved.
    Today it is impossible to open files, the application goes into the state of "unresponsive" for a lot of second as soon as I click on something.

    Hi @GiulyCat ,

     

    Thanks for reverting on this. We are unable to recreate the issue internally with Dw 21.1 on Win 10 and hence looks like the issue is machine specific. It would be great if we can have a remote connect session(details sent privately) at convinient time to you for initial investigation on the issue and try resolving the same.

     

    Have a pleasant day!

    I read the old posts and I set the preference and I deleted the folder "file temporary list" in the register,

    but the problem has not been solved.
    When I write in code the app slows down.

    I'm waiting for ideas.
    Thanks a lot
