We closed all applications that were running in the background and we didn't need at the time (skype, dropbox, etc.).We turned off all security programs and firewall again.If in your case it isn't empty, make a safety copy of the files to your desktop, and delete the files in the FLEXnet folder. We made sure the folder C:\ProgramData\FLEXnet was empty.We also set User Account Settings to the minimum. We turned off all security programs and firewall.in our case this was Windows Security and Malwarebytes.So, here are the steps we performed to enhance performance: The latest test results are comparable to what we had before on Windows 7 and SolidWorks 2018.īecause I heard that other people are also encountering similar problems, I decided to share this info here.
Fortunately, my LinkedIn contact Desiree Villeneuve sent me some tricks that could help and they did!Īs you see there was a huge difference in the performance test. We were already getting used to the thought that we will need to buy new workstations ☹.īut luck was on our side this time. We are still using HP Z420 workstation with Nvidia K4000 and SolidWorks just removed both from the certified list…this seemed fishy to me. The performance test confirmed my observations…I have never seen such bad results before.Īt first, I assumed it was a graphic card driver problem. For example, when creating a new file, the templates window took a whole minute to appear. Everything worked fine until I opened a project in SolidWorks…I was shocked…SolidWorks was useless! I was expecting a little performance drop, but not this much. We upgraded our workstations to Windows 10 and installed SolidWorks 2019. We decided to perform the upgrade now, before the next big project begins. This means that slowly everyone will be forced to upgrade to a new version of OS.
As you might know, the next year Microsoft is removing support for Windows 7.
