Extremely slow opening of solidworks 2017 files

The problem may be due to a problem when installing the new version of SolidWorks, such as incorect registry keys for example.

Thank you for your feedback!

All add-ins are disabled and I completely uninstalled solid before switching to sp5...

I tried the original setting and it took me 6s to open in resolved mode...

I'm going to sift through the parameters and look for where it comes from!

Thank you d.roger and come back as soon as I found it

If SW can't find a file, it can search the "search paths"

See in:

Options / system / Path: "search path"

Take a screenshot of what's already there, and then delete everything, to have it empty.

And try again...

I just got feedback from maintenance about this problem. The problem was with the path of "Document referenced" in the file location that pointed to the C:. So at each opening, solid will look in c: and all the subfolders for the parts.

Once deleted, everything is back to normal!

Thank you to everyone who participated and helped!

I already had it empty. Just referenced document to be deleted.

When opening "slow-motion", looking at the Windows Task Manager (Process tab, Processor% )

Is it really SW the problem, or another program?

 

Otherwise remember, if you work with a "classic" disk, if it is close to being full (90%), it can harm the performance...

Emptying it (50-60%) and then doing a good defragmentation, can bring better.
