Dreamweaver 21.5 unstable & crashing [MERGED by moderator]

[detor]

On my PC and work laptop Dreamweaver is freezing and crashing everyday since this last update, it is very annoying. Please fix this bug.

This morning I ran the Creative Cloud Desktop software, and there was a new update for Dreamweaver, 21.6. "This update includes bug fixes and stabiltiy improvements." So far, so good.

Same here. Yayyy!!!

Yesterday, I updated Dreamweaver to the latest version (21.6). I hadn't had a chance to downgrade to 21.4, which was the last stable version, but so far 21.6 has not crashed.

Today, I tested some common actions that previously triggered crashes, specifically copy and paste and everything is working smoothly so far.

I'll continue to monitor Dreamweaver over the next few days, as I use it daily for work, and will provide another update soon.

Good to know.  Thanks for updating us on the new update. 😄

This is very encouraging! Thanks for sharing your findings Frank2daMax (haha!)

ALWAYS crashes. What other app crashes in 2025 and loses your work? Primiere is arguably far mroe complex app and never freezes and crashes. I believe years ago they did a poor rewrite for PC that is still used. FYI, I also use on the Mac, which does not crash.

Hi @polandh95572754,

Thanks for writing to us. Can you please confirm the Dw app version where you are observing the crash. Will it be possible for you to share the workflow steps where you are observing the crash. Also, please confirm if the crash is consistent on your machine so that we can troubleshoot and try few resolution steps on your PC.

Have a pleasant day!

Regards,

It's been 7 days since I last reported updating to Dreamweaver 21.6, and happy to say after using it daily, it hasn't crashed and is working perfectly.  I'm using a PC with Windows 11.

Dreamweaver won't stay open on any PC longer than 30min. It crashes while idle.

You reported Dreamweaver crashing, but didn’t reply back to @Nayan_Kankariya when he tried to help you.  What version are you on? If it’s not 21.6, update it.  That version fixed the issue on PC.
