anunusualwoman Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 for some reason when I try to use the program I can open the adjustments tab and use anything in it but the effects tab won't open at all. it's a new problem (last few days) but it is very frustrating. Is there something I'm overlooking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoltBait Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Did you recently install any new plugins? Quote Download: BoltBait's Plugin Pack | CodeLab | and a Free Computer Dominos Game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anunusualwoman Posted April 16, 2017 Author Share Posted April 16, 2017 no, I haven't for quite awhile. I did update windows 10 recently though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Look to see if you have a "Plugin Errors" section in the Settings dialog (gear icon at top right of main window).

anunusualwoman Posted April 17, 2017 Author Share Posted April 17, 2017 okay, now it's not responding at all, just freezing when i open paint.net. I restarted my computer but it didn't make any difference. i'm going to go back to my previous version of win10 and see if that helps.

AndrewDavid Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Just installed the creators update for WIN10. Yes there is quite a difference in response time for the effects menu. It takes a good 10 seconds to open now and you have to be patient. (500 Plugins) Question is - Did I give up speed for stability? Prior to the Update the effects menu opened within 2 seconds.

I too have noticed since I chose to install the Creators Update for WIN10 that Paint.net is very, very slow to respond, especially the Effects. Can one 'undo' the update?

AndrewDavid Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Yes - you can undo it - but I don't like taking steps backward. Give Rick a chance to see if he can see why this is happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give Rick a chance to see if he can see why this is happening. I've found a video on Youtube to undo this. It says we only have 10 days after installing this Creator's Update to go back. I think I might do this.

AndrewDavid Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 (edited) Well I just saw a detrimental effect to the operation of paint. Performing a basic operation has now prevented the effects tab from opening at all. Lets see if I can get it to crash. Select an area - try to open the effect menu to perform a function. Repeated application of that function seems to bother Paint to the point the app does not respond or the effect menu fails to open. Still no crash though. Deselecting restores normal operations.

Rick Brewster Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Yeah let me look into that. I was noticing myself that it was slower. It doesn't take 10 seconds for me but I also don't have 500 plugins installed They did make some changes in the Creators Update that seem to reduce flickering and other visual glitches with resize/redraw across all apps. This seems to cost performance. I'm curious if that's in effect here too.

Rick Brewster Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 I think this will be easy to fix in paint.net. However, I won't be able to push any updates for ~2 weeks because I'll be traveling for work. So, if it's really important, you should consider rolling back from the Creator's Update. I don't know how well it works to roll back and then roll forward though ... I did that once on another system with 1607 (the previous "big update" for Win10) and it ended very badly (I had to reformat and reinstall everything *argh*).

Swankyfrank Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 I'm having no problems with the newest paint.net and the newer Windows10 update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
