Adobe Dreamweaver cc is super slow

[7mo0do]

Hi,

I'm having a typing issue. Adobe Dreamweaver is super slow whenever it comes to typing.

I tried switching the views but it didn't work. Also, my computer works well until I start coding in Adobe Dreamweaver.

Any solutions?

Hi,

Can you help for a MAC with same issues.

I'm having issues with this across sitewide library file updates and even if I select the File dropdown menu it takes about 20 seconds before the drop down appears and if I select Save As for example it doesn't respond for about 15 seconds. The window box for Save As eventually appears and saving the files is as normal. When I select any file to open this can take around 10seconds. Closing multiple files takes a while too.

Unfortunately I can't try the fixes mentioned as the files below don't appear on my iMac nor can I use the win +R. Please can you me know what to on the iMac. 

Many thanks,

Mike

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

I came to this forum via searching for a solution to s-l-o-w performance by Dreamweaver CC 2020 on my Windows 10 laptop.  I don't use GIT.  I tried going into site settings and unchecking cache - it failed to solve the problem.

The thing that DID solve the problem was going into the registry and deleting the Temp File List folder.  Thank you very much, Kratika, for providing this solution.

Deleting Temp File List folder fixed the problem. You saved my day !

This is the only solution that has worked for me. I had to do it more than once, and hopefully, this is not something I have to continue to perform on a regular basis. It seems with this information, Adobe should be able to address the problem and issue an update? I did not experience this on previous versions. Thanks, for posting this solution.

Thank you all ... this finally solved my problem as well.  It's been many weeks of struggling with every site I work on.

THANKS!

Yes .. this has worked.  However still one other item ... whenever I switch to working on a different site, the first html file I open takes a considerably long time to open.... doesn't matter if it's a simple page with little content or one with much content.

@bheEnt,

Disable caching in your site definition settings. Each time you switch sites, DW has to rebuild the cache which slows things down.

Go to Site > Manage Sites > Advanced Settings > Local Info.  Remove checkmark from Enable Cache.

[dezynjedi]

Yep. tried that one but, it didn't fix it for me. The other solution was
better in addition to switching to "standard" view.

Had this same issue - super slow just typing letter to letter, scrolling up or down, etc. After trying all suggestions suggested on this site the issue was finally, totally, and completely resolved by simply rolling back to version 20.1. 

[7mo0do]

Agreed.

Right now I'm rolling back as u said.

[Ennead]

An added bonus to rolling back is getting the old program icon back!

This solution is a temporary solution.

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 the Temp File List folder and restart Dreamweaver (before deleting the folder first take backup of the folder, right click on it and select export)

Thanks

As I said it's a temporary fix

Thanks for your hardworking ❤️

Hi, Just to add my voice to this issue as it's always a numbers game with support tickets.

I'm also having the same issue. DW 20.2 and Win10. The temp fix of editing the Registry has resolved the issue.

Looking forward to the fix.

I tried this yesterday and it worked for me!  The slowness had gotten to where it was almost unusable. 

[nathanl91172431]

This fixed the problem for me! Thank you. The list was unbelievably long.

I also have the same problem and I wanted to add some information for fixing the bug (maybe it's useful).

Since my very first use of Dreamweaver CC on the 13th of July 2020 (it was a fresh installation), typing, removing text, changing the cursor position and auto-completition of code is extremely slow.

I also use Dreamweaver CC 20.2. Before I used CS6, so I cannot tell if it wasn't that slow in DW 20.1. I use only the code view in the default workspace "Developer".

I use a PC with Intel i7 CPU, 32 GB RAM and Windows 10 v1909 x64.

EDIT: Oh, I wanted to add this as reply to the whole thread, not to this posting, sorry.

[Nancy OShea]

There is known problem in latest version.  Did you implement Kratika's correct answer?

1. Close DW.

2. Hold down Windows key + R.

3. Type regedit.

4. Go to \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Dreamweaver 2020\Temp File List\

5. Delete Temp File List folder after making a backup.

6. Restart DW.

The solution worked also for me. But it's really only a temporary solution, because the list is filled again within a few hours of working.

But even with an empty list Dreamweaver will not win a price for a fast editor...

Hi,

I fully understand the fix above however I use a MAC. Can you supply similar fix for iOS

Thank you,

Mike

[Eric.Mwangi]

This worked perfectly for me. Dreamweaver CC 2020

[Muxiang]

Thank you so much for the solution! It seemed to have fixed the issue. The super-slow issue has been driven me crazy. Appreciate it!
