Solidwork 2017 SP 3.0 has become very slow

Ok and thank you.

But 

I still have one question that worries me.

Does the fact that by drawing in SW RX in mode without options, everything goes well mean that my "graphics card" works well or does it mean nothing?

Here's what I found on the mode that works well for my SW.

 

Launch SOLIDWORKS by ignoring the settings under Tools/Options: In this second configuration, SOLIDWORKS starts with the default settings: toolbars, menus, keyboard shortcuts, system options. This feature can be used to highlight behaviors related to a specific SOLIDWORKS setting, or user-specific corruption of the SOLIDWORKS registry. This boot mode only applies to this SOLIDWORKS session (so you find your settings the second time you start SOLIDWORKS).

 

I guess that means that something is wrong in my options and that the computer is not the source of the problem???

Thank you for your opinion

Indeed, I would interpret it in this way as well.
You can reset the settings of SW: Resetting Settings
In the discussion we see that we can restore the parameters by category.
So make a backup of your current setting, then restore the settings gradually until it works.
Hopefully, you can then restore your old settings and reset only the offending category
If that's not enough, you'll have to consider uninstalling/reinstalling SW.

I have restored everything in terms of settings, but it's the same. Something crazy.

I'm thinking of creating a restore point, uninstalling SW.

On the other hand, I wonder if in the registry there won't be files left that will make SW reinstall like the first time.

Do you know how to do it?

Apart from passing a CCleaner shot, I don't see anything else to do.

Remember to deactivate your license before uninstalling, shut down (and not just restart) the machine after each step (uninstall, CCleaner, reinstall).

Hello

The BDR you have to put the snorkel and fins to go tinker in it, to be avoided.

On the other hand, if you end up completely uninstalling SW there will be no link after reinstallation (basic principle of the BDR, the indexes are contextual). Remove directories once uninstalled if they are not deleted as a precaution.

From the 2017 and 2018 versions, the installation of a new version is better done following the many problems when people had several versions on the computer.

Stupid question, do you have big software (other than browsers) because these are also slow, the problem would not be SW. This happened to me recently because the motherboard was starting to mess up before giving up the ghost.

Kind regards

 

Hello

For a clean uninstall / reinstall of SW you can follow this document, especially chapter IV, be careful the position of the registry keys may be different depending on the version of Windows.

Kind regards

Hello, victory and desolation.

Victory because I uninstalled by deleting the files from the database.

I put my options back and everything works perfectly without any problem 

but

Sorry by what avenao had told me that it was probably the graphics card. I even went to see to buy a computer. All this for a simple reinstallation. The beaba of computing. In any case a big thank you to you and especially for saving a card or a computer
