Dreamweaver CC 2021 is constantly crashing when attempting to edit a HTML page

Report · Dec 18, 2020

I have a fairly simple HTML page that I use for photo tracking. Since updating to 2021 version, the app is constantly crashing when I attempt to edit my document. I'm unsure of what is causing it since it happens completely randomly. Its become even more frequent in the last week or so.

Do I need to rebuild something or delete a cache file somewhere?

Does this happen with ALL files in all defined sites or just certain ones?

Copy & paste this error-free code into a new, blank document to test. Does DW still crash?

If the error-free code above is working, check your own documents for code errors.

Thank you Nancy for the suggestion - I went and edited another document within my site and saved it - now I can edit and save the previous document giving me trouble. Not sure what the cause was but I seem to be good now.

again - thank you for responding to this question!
