DW 2019 and 2020, Not responding

[tociaj]

I've been using 2017 and I started using 2019 and 2020, every time I go to make a change I get a "not responding" message.  I noticed this in 2018 and went back to 2017.  Now that I've updated my Creative Cloud to 2019 and 2020, I'm having issues whenever I make a change.  It's taking me an extra 15 minutes to update my newsletter because of the software times out. How do we fix this?

Best thing to start with is this KB article: https://helpx.adobe.com/dreamweaver/kb/troubleshoot-javascript-errors-dreamweaver-cs6-cc.html .  Try deleting the filecache and user config folder.  If those don't work you could try another user account on the OS as there have been cases where a corrupt OS user can cause issues and migrating to a new account is the best solution. I have done this before myself.

1. Please ensure your computer meets or exceeds the minimum system requirements to run Creative Cloud + Dreamweaver and all other apps you use.  Requirements vary by product and platform so check each one.

2. Keep your local site folder on your primary hard drive instead of cloud / networked drives.

3. Turn off non-essential background processes like real-time backups, anti-virus file scans, sleep mode, etc...

4. Validate code and fix reported errors.  Window > Results > Validation.

5. Switch to Design view. 

Document Toolbar

6. Open Creative Cloud Desktop App. Click Settings (gear icon) > Syncing.  Pause syncing.  Done.  Close CC Desktop App.
