AutoCAD Architecture 2014 slow on Windows 10

[DanMiddleton]

I have purchased a new computer for the office:

ThinkStation P320 SFF, Core I7-7700

32GB DDR4 2400 DR x8 RAM 

NVIDIA Quadro P1000 4GB Video card

Unfortunately, they can no longer install Windows 7.  So this speedy little computer has Windows 10 on it.  For some reason, running ACA 2014 it is the slowest computer in the company.  Changing layout tabs, takes sometimes up to one minute to do.  A regen takes an enormous amount of time.  If I open up the Windows Task Manager and look at CPU usage when I click on a different viewport, it barely moves.  So this is telling me that the CPU is not the culprit.  I realize that Windows 10 is not supported for ACA 2014, but does anyone out there have a solution that I could try to see if my speedy computer could live up to its' specs?

2014 (and 2015) versions of AutoCAD are not supported in Win10 https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/autocad/learn-explore/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/Windows-...

If you migrated a profile from the old PC to the new one, that may be your biggest problem: reset or reinstall ACA2014 to remove all of that.

Kill off all background running Autodesk programs, also turn off hardware acceleration too and see if that helps.

Try running ACA21014 in Win10's Compatibility Mode if running it "as administrator" does not help https://www.techadvisor.co.uk/how-to/windows/how-run-programs-as-administrator-in-windows-10-3632744...

We kept getting crashes in Windows 10, but the workaround for us was to run as administrator, and then go to the compatibility mode and select Windows Vista.  It now runs awesome, no crashes.
