I just uninstalled all my plugins that I had and that fixed the problem. It turns out I had too many, which I thought, but I had a lot of good plugins, but I installed a pack for now though. Hopefully I don't make the same mistake again.

Yes. EDIT: Also I deleted some plugins to try to free up some space on it, but it didn't work. And clicking on the shapes tool didn't do anything on startup. It just froze like normal.

It loads up faster and does not freeze, but I lose all my new plugins. I'm not sure yet. Paint.NET started finally after several tries of using the suggestions and testing, so I will check out the Shapes tool next time I can. It didn't appear to be using very much of the CPU. Paint.NET seems to work fine after I get it working, but it takes several tries. It is probably the plugins.

I have 129 plugins installed. Application paint.net 4.0.17 (Final 4.17.6411.1908) Build Date Friday, July 21, 2017 Install type Classic Hardware accelerated rendering (GPU) True Animations True DPI 96.00 (1.00x scale) Language en-US OS Windows 10 x64 (10.0.14393.0) .NET Runtime 4.0.30319.42000 Physical Memory 8,082 MB CPU Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-6100U CPU @ 2.30GHz Speed ~2304 MHz Cores / Threads 2 / 4 Features DEP, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3, SSE4_1, SSE4_2, XSAVE Video Card Intel(R) HD Graphics 520 Dedicated Video RAM 128 MB Dedicated System RAM 0 MB Shared System RAM 4,041 MB Vendor ID 0x8086 Device ID 0x1916 Subsystem ID 0x81EB103C Revision 7 LUID 0x0000FCD8 Flags None Outputs 1 Video Card Microsoft Basic Render Driver Dedicated Video RAM 0 MB Dedicated System RAM 0 MB Shared System RAM 4,041 MB Vendor ID 0x1414 Device ID 0x008C Subsystem ID 0x00000000 Revision 0 LUID 0x0000FFC5 Flags Software Outputs 0

When it says "Not Responding" in the bar, I usually can click the "X" button on the window several times to close out. And yes, I do have a decent amount of plugins installed.

One day I started paint.net up and it usually freezes for about a second or two when I load it up, but recently it has been freezing and not responding. I usually have to start it up and exit out of it several times before it decides to work. It is getting pretty annoying since it is my main graphics program I use. It does work, but only after I have restarted it several times. I appreciate the help in advance. EDIT: I have also already tried the PDN repair and it still didn't work.
