Dreamweaver taking hours to open?

[neild17049441]

Very regularly that I open Dreamweaver it takes Dreamweaver a lonnnnnnnng time to actually open. Sometimes hours. Most of the time it is between 30-50 minutes. This is not productive, I have wanted to give up on Dreamweaver at this point, but required to use it for work. This is a screenshot of what I have been seeing for the past 24 minutes, and still waiting (this is the normal). I know one of the other guys in the office has shorter wait times, but still has this issue. I have uninstalled CC and all Adobe products, and reinstalled it hoping to correct the situation. I have tried from a signed out, and a signed in account on CC (thinking it was hung up there somehow).

The only way I can find to make the opening delay shorter is close and reopen the program many times a day, which is also, time consuming.

28 minutes still looking at the loading screen...

Any help would be greatly appreciated, by me and I am sure by my boss....

Hi Neil,

This is quite unusal behavior. Can you please try restoring DW preferences as mentioned in below link?

Unusual behavior in Dreamweaver? Try restoring preferences.

This might help.

Thanks,

I think this worked. Or at least made the time less noticeable.  I will update you in about a week.  The cursor response is much faster at the moment, as well. I just thought cursor response was really laggy, but it is like real time now...

What are your computer specs?  Before you launch DW, how much free memory do you have on your system?

Also, I know this is not specific to your error, but these steps usually resolve many issues with DW.  Can you try running through some fo these: JavaScript errors in Dreamweaver
