tracya Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Hello, I've been using Paint.net forever, through several Windows and paint.net versions, however since I have installed Win10, I have been experiencing regular hangs and crashes, and it takes much longer to start up. (It will usually go into "not responding" before it finally arrives) .. I haven't been able to pin any kind of pattern so I can re-create the problem; I believe it's just random.. (It might be only on Open and Saves .. but I can't be sure. I'll pay attention from now on.) Yes I do have the current version 4.0.6 .. Any ideas as to what might cause this?

jim100361 Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 It's hard for anyone to make an educated guess with symptoms alone. Maybe if you provide some info about your computer's specs. (Make, model, CPU, memory, etc.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racerx Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 (edited) I've been running Win10 for a couple of weeks now on my Editing Desktop (i7) and my LapTop (i3). I haven't experienced this issue however.... Without a doubt Win10 is a bigger resource hog than Win7 or Win8.1. I don't notice the difference so much on my Desktop(i7), but I certainly notice it on my Laptop (i3). I used a nifty utility called "0&0 Shutup10" to disable many of the useless hidden processes running in the background. This definitely helped with the speed and efficiency.
