Slow properties window in AutoCAD 2021

Since I changed to AutoCAD 2021 the floating properties window is very slow. When I click on an entity in the model space the "filling" or rebuild of the properties window needs about one second. In that time no other action is possible. So it slows down the workfloat if the properties window is open. As I also have this problem in 3dsMAX with some VRay windows  I think it is a graphics driver problem. I tried also the previous driver with no succes.  Who has similar experiences?

Unfortunately the workaround was the only solution. That is, I found it best to close the primary properties window when I didn’t need it, and just have the quick properties open if there were a few things I needed to tweak throughout.

 

This behaviour hasn’t improved with new iterations of the software, or upgraded hardware.

Hi! I seem to have found the cause of this problem after all. A low-quality HDD is to blame. I recently had a problem, the system went bad due to a heavy program running on my HDD. I had to reinstall Windows, and at the same time I disconnected my hdd and used only SSD. The first program that I installed was autocad. And everything worked just perfectly. No delays, everything just flies. I thought before that the HDD was to blame, I tried to turn it off, but it didn't help. Honestly, I do not know how it works, but apparently you need to install the system again without connecting the HDD. I handed over the HDD under warranty to the store, and they really found some problems with it and replaced it. So if you have a HDD in your computer, maybe that's the problem. Good luck! Sorry if I have mistakes in the text, English is not my native language

Check what additional plugins and programs you have installed.

Some of them use the properties panel to display their parameters.

Therefore, they delay the display until they process their parameters.

To check, compare a drawing with many objects - select everything and compare the time with the panel open and with the panel closed.
