Issues launching AutoCAD 2026

amirah6486M — Sat, 18 Apr 2026 03:24:12 GMT

Hi! I've recently been facing this issue with AutoCAD 2026 (didn't have this issue for the past 6 months or so of using it)...

Every time I launch or open a file in the program it freezes on the home page, buffering cursor & unable to click anything else on the page.

I am able to open other Autodesk softwares just fine i.e. Revit 2026 but for some reason it struggles with AutoCAD. Would appreciate any help/insight on this matter.

Thank you!

Hi and welcome to AutoCAD Forum,

@amirah6486M

Honestly... This issue (Freezing,Lagging)has become increasingly common recently. There are, in fact, many reasons that cannot be precisely enumerated. I think it's particularly difficult to resolve these kinds of problems at this time. You can follow the posts here in this form and read the replies.

All the best...
