After Effects very slow performance after Windows 11 Update...

[VIKASH5FCE]

Hello all,

Has anyone else experienced a severe drop in application performance speed and responsiveness (lastest After Effects 22.6) to the point where event clicking/unclicking layer icons can take several seconds to take effect after updating their Windows 11 OS with the latest update?

Literally everything has slowed down within After Effects including skipping from one frame in a composition to another.
Also, render times have exponentially increased in time compared to previous.

I have a solid PC Laptop with very high specs and before the Windows Update (2 days ago) After Effects was working speedily without any problems.

I'm wondering if anyone else has noticed anything similar and if there are any solutions (apart from trying to revert back to previous Windows state)?

Thanks in advance,

Hi VIKASH5FCE,

Thanks for writing in.

Could you share your system specifications (CPU, GPU, RAM) so that we know what you're working with? To start, please make sure that the GPU driver is updated. Also, try resetting the preferences. Here's how: https://community.adobe.com/t5/after-effects-discussions/faq-how-to-reset-trash-preferences-in-after...

Let us know how it goes.

Thanks,

Hi Nishu,

Thanks for your reply.

CPU is Intel Core i9

GPU is GeForce RTX 3070 Ti

RAM is 32GB

I tried resetting the preferences as per the instructions you provided however, it hasn't made any difference.

I noticed that Photoshop takes longer to load up but the application performance doesn't appear to be as affected as After Effects and there doesn't appear to be any impact on Illustrator as of yet.

Thanks,

Correction, Photoshop has also become slow in performance from switching to different tools, to saving files and minimising/maximising the application window...

Did you ever solve this? Same issue on Win 11.
