Hi, i could spend all day giving you different things to try but your best bet is to follow this link:

This gives a brief troubleshoot changing on variable every-time to see which is causing the problem,

I hope this helps 🙂

Hi,

can you please test all these issues after

creating a new Windows user account (with admin permissions)
login with that account
disconnect your workstation from every type of network (so Internet is not found, network printers are not found)
start AutoCAD with a new drawing, based on an AutoCAD original template

...same slowness?

>> with an Intel R HD Graphics 520 graphics card

Intel HD are not really graphic cards for CAD, so if your projects are bigger and/or 3D you should think about getting a "real" graphic card.

Also make sure AutoCAD is up-to-date, when starting command _ABOUT you can see the exact version information, this should show this:
