Dreamweaver is so slow it almost unusable. lag lag lag on a simple page. every change in any txt takes 3-4 seconds.  is there a fix for this? otherwise, I need to cancel my subscription and find another program. I have always liked DW but it's taking me way to much time to just do simple HTML. HELP!!!

Hi 

 

We are investigating this issue at our end, meanwhile as a workaround can you perform below steps and see if the issue is resolved.

  1. close DW
  2. Go to Registry key press win +R -> type regedit
  3. go to \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Dreamweaver 2020\Temp File List\
  4. delete theTemp File List folder and restart Dreamweaver (before deleting the folder first take backup of the folder, right click on it and select export)

 

Thanks

Know this is an old thread, but I'm a graphic designer that occasionally uses DW, so I have older versions installed 2020 and 2021.  Anyway, I had the same issue described here and the occasional registry clear did the job.  BUT, since I disabled "Reopen documents at startup" in Preferences/General the temp list seems cleaner.  Not 100% sure it's made a difference but maybe the recent files are cached to some degree.  Anyway, wanted to share in case it helps!

Hi Folks,

 

We have addressed the slow typing issue in code view on win, in our latest DW21.0 build 21.0.0.15392 which can be downloaded from Creative cloud.

Please update the Dreamweaver version to 21.0 and see if the issue is resolved for you.

 

Thanks

Hi, 
unfortunately got the same issue with the newest version as well (just reinstalled to double-check). Deleting the registry-folder didn't change anything. 
Got information about when this started? So to which version I should go back?

Greeting and thanks for the effort of fixing it,
Jana

I'm using version 20.1 without any problems on an aging Win10 workstation.

 

I recommend you revert to a previous version.   Post back if you need help with that.

Thanks, Nancy!   I am trying to do that but it says that 20.2 will be uninstalled and settings lost. I assume this is just preferences in the program or will all my server information need to be set up again?  thank you for the help.

Did you previously sync settings to the Creative Cloud?  If yes, you can import synced settings to your version of DW.   See screenshot from Preferences panel.

Thanks, I tried that and it does not help. also tried to delete the cache file from C:\***\***\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Dreamweaver 2020\en_US\Configuration

 

I also think it's insane that I must disable parts of the program to get the program to work.

I am using an i7-4790 CPU @ 3.6GHZ

12GB RAM  on 64 bit Win 10

 

My sites are tiny < 20Kb of html with CSS and JS

 

sorry if my frustration comes out in this post, not upset with you personally just pulling my hair out here
