    Guess what? It might not be Adobe at all, but it may be that you could have been soft-rebooting Windows that's causing the slower boot times. You see, by default Windows is configured to utilize "fast startup," which requires a large hybernation file on your boot drive that's larger than the size of your installed RAM. But the fast startup feature only kicks in if you shut down Windows (via the shutdown menu) rather than restarting Windows. Restarting Windows via the menu will defeat the fast startup feature, forcing a complete full reboot cycle.

     

    In addition, the i5-6400T is not a good CPU choice at all for video editing: In addition to having only 4 cores and 4 threads, its clock speed is too low: The maximum all-core turbo speed of that CPU is only 2.5 GHz, and even the maximum single-core turbo speed of that CPU is only 2.8 GHz - all restricted to limit the TDP (heat output) to only 35W instead of the 91W that the full-performance Skylake CPUs are rated to run at.

    i'm convinced all these replies are absolue bs!  i never really experienced any type of slow down on my computer for over a year now.  suddenly, in the past month, the slow down is maddening!  as well, Adobe has someone adjusted how it takes your payment for the subscription.  it should be noted & possibly are dire warning that Adobe, & presumably other such companies, have the ability to dip into you bank account to get their payment, even if you do not have enough funds to cover the amount, putting your account in an overdraft situatiion & possibly even get nsf charges if the payment happens to go back.  prior to this month, if you did not have enough money in your account to cover your subscription payment, you would get a notice at the top of your Adobe page telling you there was a problem with your payment, & to please update your payment info.  NOT ANYMORE !  Adobe now has the ability to debit your account regardless!  My bank manager was somewhat astounded by this new development & she did some checking; in doing so discovered that as per my cardholder agreement that they can absolutely do that & I am not able to do anything about it.  Well, wrong, I cancelled my subscription, & guess what?  Even though my subscription is good until the middle of next month, my computer is now running slower than ever, every time I open any Adobe product.

    Same issue here... it is a brand new HP Victus Laptop, which is actually way to heavy to take to the office everyday, but it was chosen specifically to meet the specs of Adobe software and has a separate graphical card instead of a shared chip. My home laptop with lesser specs and 9 years of experience is much faster. Removing Adobe software solves the problem. However, then I cannot use it... so now what?

    I have experienced this too.

    AMD 5950X
    Nvidia 3090 TI 16GB Graphics Card
    128GB G.Skill DDR4 Clocked @ 3200mhz
    Windows 10 Pro N 21H1 19043.2006 With all updates
    All drivers are up to date.

    I ended up buying two brand new mice and throwing away a perfectly good razer blackwidow over a period of 3 months.
    Lately, it has been driving me nuts.
    So I begin removing programs 1 by 1 and waiting a day to see if there was a change.

    Yesterday, I removed adobe products. All of them.
    And suddenly, these intermittent performance hits on a relatively top of the line PC, were gone.

    What was happening for me, was the keyboard and mouse would lag for a second while adobe did something in the background. This would cause my mouse to stop in place, my keyboard to repeat whatever key I had pressed last until it stopped.

    There is no doubt in my mind adobe has many issues. They run 15+ background programs when no app is active, all to protect their assets. They delete your shortcut preferences on payment aniversary dates or during updates, they deposit a file in every folder you open an image from now.
    They don't support basic imaging tools like the creating of icons, and they charge an arm and a leg.

    I am at the end of my time with Adobe. $60 a month for 5 years has been enough for me, given that now, I can't effectively use my PC without disabling every product when finished using something.

    Its a shame, because it really is the best product out there (photoshop, illustrator, after effects).
    But they (and their community) get angry when you tell them about a problem rather than looking into it and trying to find a resolution.

    Whatever is causing these hangs... Needs to go before I come back. And an apology to the community would be nice as well.

    Also happens on my 3900x, 3950x and 3400g PC's. It's not an isolated issue.

    Exactly. Quite high end machine here. Whenever i start PS, Ai, Id or whatever from Adobe i get permanent lagging mouse, very sluggish windows and it goes until i close every single Adobe program.

    That may be normal.

    What are the complete computer specs, including hard drives (how many, what kind, what is on each, what capacity, and how full)?

    If NVIDIA graphics, make sure to use the latest Studio Driver from NVIDIA (NOT the Game Driver).

    I've moved this from the Using the Community forum (which is the forum for issues using the forums) to the Premiere Pro forum so that proper help can be offered.
