  • Why is my cc lightroom so slow to load it takes 1 1/2 minutes to open

    Why is my cc lightroom so slow to load it takes 1 1/2 minutes to open

    Hi harry,.

    I had the same problem, but he found the solution by myself today.  I hope it will work for you.  Make sure that LR - CC is closed.  Start by opening the creative cloud Manager.  Click on the gear and select Preferences, then disconnect the cloud Manager.  You will get a window asking to confirm, click ok.  Back in the open again and sign creative cloud Manager.  Open LR - CC.  If you have notifications on the value, you will get a notification that the license was upheld and LR - CC opens immediately.

    I hope this helps!

  • Since a few days, it takes more than 30 to 60 minutes to open Firefox. I'm on Vista. I tried to reset firefox & uninstalled and installed again.

    Hello

    Since a few days, it takes more than 30 to 60 minutes to open Firefox on my laptop. I'm on Vista and have Anti Virus. I already tried to reset firefox, uninstalled and installed again. My version of firefox is 29. But nothing seems to help.

    Can you please help in this regard, that I really like using Firefox, but because of this problem, I am forced to use other browsers.

    Thank you
    Gerard

    It is possible that your security (firewall, antivirus) software blocks or limit Firefox or the process of plugin-container without you inform, possibly after the detection of changes (update) for the Firefox program.

    Delete all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container in the permissions list in the firewall and leave your firewall again ask permission get full and unrestricted, access to the internet for Firefox and the plugin-container and the update process.

    See:

    Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem.

    • Put yourself in the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance
    • Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode safe

    Create a new profile as a test to see if your profile is the source of the problem.

    See "create a profile":

    If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a profile already used in the new profile, but be careful not to copy files corrupted to avoid transporting on the problem

    El capitan sank my already very usable macbook pro 13 "! EACH application is slowed until almost uselessness, takes almost five minutes to wake up to the top/connect to wifi after sleep, a lot of problems with playback of streaming audio and audio itunes, making my virtually inaccessible whole itunes library. Stuck in the date and time, just a general nightmare.

    A took 15 minutes to open safari and two tabs, more than an hour to open chrome, imovie has spent more than 12 hours to load a video from my phone, and then frozen.

    I do not usually post in forums or discussion because I don't usually have something to contribute, but I wish that I had listened to the warnings of this despicable OS. I feel forced into it. I feel so angry that I can't access simple features of my audio and video programs that I have used so much before this debacle.

    So far, it's worse than Windows Vista. Way worse.

    If anyone has any suggestions, I would be grateful, but I just try to find an older OSX will not treat my computer as if it was a cell grocery store to throw.

    Hello

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Communities. From your problem description, I understand that you are facing problems when the computer starts.

    1. what operating system is installed on the computer?

    Please go ahead and follow the steps mentioned and later a update on the State of the question.

    Method 1: Check if the problem is caused by some faulty devices on your computer. I suggest that you disconnect all external devices except the mouse and keyboard to your computer and check to see if the same problem happens.

    Method 2: Try to run the troubleshooter of Performance:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/open-the-performance-Troubleshooter

    Method 3: Try to boot in safe mode and check if the same problem occurs.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

    (For Windows Vista)

    Method 4: If the question does not exist in Mode safe mode then try to set up your computer in a clean boot state, and check to see if the same problem happens.

    By setting your boot system minimum state helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem.

    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or Windows 7:

  • Startup takes about 5 minutes to complete to start on my HP laptop.

    Desktop loads upwards just fine, fast, straight bar tool with the exception of the Wi Fi Connected icon, it takes about 5 minutes to appear, this time on that hard drive lite is a little hard. If you tap the icon on the tool bar network bars she says you are connected. If you try to open something out of the Office during that time, he just sits there watching waiting for you to start to complete. Once starting over thing work fine, that too, if you plug in a USB key during the startup time (5 minutes), you hear the sound that you always hear when you plug one but it doesn't appear in Windows Explorer until after 5 minutes of waiting. I did a system restore to a moment where it was sunny and that did not help. I ran a defrag on the C drive, I ran a disk check, with no errors found. I look in the task during this time Manager, and you see no programs running. I run Malwarebytes and Super Anti Spyware and nothing detected. Can someone help me with this?

    Hello

    Welcome to the Microsoft Community Forum.

    I understand that the process of starting your computer is slow. Let me ask you a few questions to better understand.

    1. What security software do you use?
    2. You did it all meaning hardware or software change?
    3. You get the error message? If Yes, when and what is the exact error message?

    I suggest that you perform a clean boot procedure, and then try to install the add-in.
     
    See the link to perform the clean boot.

    Method 1: How to perform a clean boot in Windows

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135/en-us

    Important: Put your system to the clean boot state helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. You must follow the steps in the article mentioned below to perform a clean boot.

    Note: See " " How to reset the computer to start normally after a boot minimum troubleshooting "to prepare the computer to start as usual after troubleshooting. "

    Method 3: Optimize Windows performance

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/optimize-Windows-better-performance#optimize-Windows-better-performance=Windows-7

    Note: Data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means there is a risk of data loss.

    Note: When running chkdsk on the drive hard if bad sectors are found on the disk hard when chkdsk attempts to repair this area so all available data on this risk be lost.

    Method 4: You can use the provided patch below it article and check if that helps to solve some problems.
