Unusable lag on new Dell XPS 13

Hi

I'm wondering anyone else is experiencing lag times while editing in split or code only mode in the latest version of DW CC.

Each typed or pasted code update I make locks up the code area for between 18 - 20 sec before appearing.

I've updated drivers, spoken to Dell support and made changes but it's made no difference.

I'm tearing my hair out and just wondering if there's something I have missed in permissions, security.. anything!

Thank you for your help !

    Hello,

    it is a context and a situation that are known...... and this since CC 2017, but it is true that CC 2018 has become by far a very unstable and completely unusable application (depending on the systems and contexts of use)...

    many bugs, log files have been sent to the development teams, but it remains as it is....

    for this reason I returned to CS6 which allows me to work in project management in a suitable way. Well, the code editor must be replaced by a contemporary editor, and the FTP client must remain external... but this platform is comfortable... compare to CC2018

    What I find really speeds everything up is using the Creative Cloud Cleanup Tool​ to clean up creative cloud components that I don't need, I'm not using sync and after having a tinker with CC libraries not using that component either, so I do this:

    Launch the cleanup tool:

    After selecting language and agreeing to terms, select:

    Option 3.  Creative Cloud 2018, 2017, 2015, 2014, Creative Cloud & CS6 Products

    From the available options I've been safely able to remove the following components without it affecting the Adobe programs I have installed (Dreamweaver, Fireworks, Photoshop and Premiere):

    Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop

    Adobe Application Mnager

    CC Library

    CoreSync

    CCX Process

    I just periodically install the CC Desktop app to check for updates and repeat the cleanup process.

    You could also look in Windows Services, there might be some Adobe services you can safely disable too.

    So someone buys a new computer in 2018 and wants to use the latest Dreamweaver, the best advice is "potentially" needing to go backwards to use older software released in 2012? That's a pretty sad and revealing example regarding the current state of Adobe & Dreamweaver.

    For what it's worth, I have no latency problems with DW on Windows 10 version 1803.

      Thanks for the advice Birnou. It's such a shame to see a good program become so bloated as to be unusable. 

      I tried going back to CC2017 which worked fine on a Toshiba Kira and it was actually worse despite the step up in processor, cache & RAM which makes no sense.

      I've been using DW since it was Macromedia but sadly I no longer have any older copies after so many years.
      Is it possible to download older versions on the Adobe site?
