Creo 4.0. Slowing entire PC

Mikulas · ‎Mar 17, 2020

Hi,

I installed creo 4.0. M080 Student license, some time ago (autumn 2019) and it worked perfectly. To day I wanted to work and creo gets suddenly extremely slow. The graphics is okay but menus to open other parts or filling dimensions is incredibly slow rendering the program almost unusable, what´s worse it seems to be "infecting" my windows and suddenly my entire PC is slow as hell and I have to restart. Other programs run fine. I tried new graphics driver (two actually) neither made any difference.

My specs:

Win 10

Asus Laptop UX310UQ

i5-6200U

GTX 940M

8gb ram

I have creo on standart HDD (due to lack of space on SSD) but it seems to be running ok

Thank you

Hello,

Please make sure that you are using the graphical card and not the on-board one. It may happen mainly if the graphical card is used for something else or if the default one changed.

If this is not the case, you will need to right-click on the Creo Parametric shortcut on the desktop and go to properties. Add space after the existing target path and then -g:win32_gdi. Click on apply and run the Creo.

Thanks,

Alex

Hi,

please apply -g:win32_gdi option temporarily. If Creo's response speeds up then the problem is related to graphic card drivers. I suggest you to install graphic card drivers release in autumn 2019 or earlier. Current drivers may not solve the problem.
