Hi all
I have been experiencing for about 3 weeks a real problem of slow execution on SW15 (all the other software installed on the PC works normally).
This problem occurs on simple parts, for example when I want to rotate a part or also when I look for access to the context menu in the tree (such as to modify a sketch in particular).
I've already tried to "fix" SW but nothing helps. The KB3072630 update has been removed since last year as well.
Does anyone have a solution to this problem?
Thank you and have a good day.

Hello
Is it the SP5?
In the process manager, is there a program that uses a lot of CPU or RAM?

In fact what @GT22 means is format your hard drive, it will go faster, Lol
ok the exit is this way:)
On the other hand, GT22 is true for large assemblies, but to start with, you would have to remove the temporary files that must accumulate :)
