CAD Short Freezes for No Apparent Reason

Anonymous

Hi folks, first time poster here. My CAD has gone weird on me recently, it randomly freezes for 30-60 seconds or so when I'm doing something. It happens at any time, drawing a line, selecting something, just random small tasks - nothing heavy. And when it unfreezes the command bar doesn't say anything that would indicate a reason (eg autosave).

In terms of specs, it's Autocad LT 2020, all updates installed. CPU usage usually is 1% when I have CAD open and am not doing anything. When I start doing stuff it ticks along a 3-7% percent. During these freeze moments it jumps up to 13/14% and then comes back down when it unfreezes. I have hardware acceleration turned off. I've regularly been deleting the temp files folder, and have run disk cleanup and defrag. This problem originated only in the last week or two, I can't see anything that may have changed since then.

PC specs are:
- Intel Xeon CPU E5-1620 v3 @ 3.50GHz
- Ram 32GB
- 64 bit Windows 10
- NVIDIA GeForce GT440

Thanks a lot!

LT2020 is not new: what did you and or IT folks identify as having changed on your computer recently, and have you tried to remove it/them yet? Something did change, dig deeper.
