When using split view in CC 2017, code is very slow to respond

[chk3273]

I use Dreamweaver CC 2017 in split view code-design.  When I open a file, the design section is immediately active, but the code section is frozen and takes a long time before it is responsive.  I can make changes in the design section, but they do not appear in the code.  I cannot make changes directly to the code until the file has been open for about a minute.  Any suggestions?

Can you try the solutions in DIY troubleshooting kit for Dreamweaver  and let us know if they helped?

Thanks,

I don't know which issues I am supposed to try.

Start with Crashes & Freezes .

Also it might be prudent to check your code for validation errors just in case that's causing code view to choke.

Go to Window > Results > Validation.

Click the large triangle to check current document.

Fix any reported errors and save your file.

I didn't find anything in the Crashes & Freezes section that helped the situation.

Since I am not expert in writing code, I am sure that my code has errors.  However, I did not have this particular problem in version CC 2016.  I am including a link to one of my documents.  After opening the document, it took about 1' 20" before I could work directly in the code section.  Star Light, Star Bright - Children's Sermons from Sermons4Kids.com If you don't mind, could you look at the source code and see if there are any major errors that could cause the problem?

Thanks,

The only error that I can find is a stray </p> at the end of line 107.

I have tried to replicate the problem without success. I think that the problem lies not with Dreamweaver or the file that you have given us, I believe that there is something within your local system that is the problem.

Try Unusual behavior in Dreamweaver? Try restoring preferences.

Or the system set-up.

• Is the local site folder on the primary hard drive -- same as DW?
• Is the computer's Energy Saving Sleep/Hibernation mode disabled?
• Does the computer have sufficient memory (physical, RAM & graphics card) to run DW?

The local site folder on the primary hard drive the same as DW.

The sleep mode is disabled.

I am running Windows 10 Professional (x64) Version 1607, Core i5 processor, 8GB ram.

In your File Manager, show Hidden Items (see screenshot).

[chk3273]

Thanks.  Hidden Items was checked, but file name extension was not.

Does that actually answer your initial question?

In the instructions on how to reset the preferences for Windows, it says, C:/Program Files/Adobe/Adobe Dreamweaver [version]), click the file Dreamweaver.exe.  When I went to this location, I could not find a Dreamweaver.exe file and I could not find a way to access the UAC dialogue box.
